Joshua 21:9-11: And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are [here] mentioned by name, [mentioned: Heb. called]
Contradiction with 2 Samuel 2:1-3
Here David goes to Hebron but doesn’t mention sharing spoils of Ziklag, which opposes the sharing theme in 1 Samuel 30:28.
2 Samuel 2:1-3: And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
Contradiction with Judges 1:20
