Contradiction with 1 Samuel 8:2
This verse states that the sons of Samuel were Joel and Abiah, but 1 Chronicles 6:28 names them as Vashni and Abiah.
1 Samuel 8:2: Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: [they were] judges in Beersheba.
Paradox #1
1 Chronicles 6:28 mentions the sons of Samuel as Joel and Abijah. However, in 1 Samuel 8:2, the sons of Samuel are named as Joel and Abiah. This discrepancy in the naming of Samuel's sons could be seen as a minor inconsistency between the texts.
Paradox #2
In 1 Chronicles 6:28, there is a potential numerical inconsistency regarding the names of the sons. This verse lists different names compared to a similar list found in another part of the Bible, which can cause confusion about the number and identity of the sons.
