Contradiction with 1 Samuel 9:21
1 Samuel 9:21 suggests that the tribe of Benjamin is the least of the tribes, whereas 1 Chronicles 24:18 aligns priestly duties to specific families from Levi, implying suitability and distinction.
1 Samuel 9:21: And Saul answered and said, [Am] not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me? [so...: Heb. according to this word]
Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 23:6
1 Chronicles 23:6 divides the Levites into groups and families differently from how 1 Chronicles 24:18 specifies the order and roles of these families.
1 Chronicles 23:6: And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, [namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. [courses: Heb. divisions]
Contradiction with Hebrews 7:11
Hebrews 7:11 questions the necessity of the Levitical priesthood, suggesting that perfection cannot be achieved through it, whereas 1 Chronicles 24:18 establishes the Levitical priesthood as organized and integral.
Hebrews 7:11: If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
