Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 24:2
This verse claims Nadab and Abihu died without children, contradicting the potential implication of lineage continuation found in 1 Chronicles 24:15.
1 Chronicles 24:2: But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
Contradiction with Numbers 3:4
This verse confirms Nadab and Abihu died and had no children, suggesting no priestly duties carried forward unlike the duties outlined in 1 Chronicles 24.
Numbers 3:4: And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
Contradiction with Leviticus 10:1-2
The death of Nadab and Abihu is described here due to offering strange fire, pointing to a failure, contrasting the ordered service in 1 Chronicles 24:15.
Leviticus 10:1-2: And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

Exodus 6:23: And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
