Contradiction with 1 Samuel 6:5

While Exodus 8:31 speaks of the Lord removing the flies completely at Moses' request, 1 Samuel 6:5 implies people should make offerings for afflictions rather than just asking for their removal.

Jonah 3:10 describes God seeing the people's repentance and choosing not to bring destruction, contrasting with Exodus 8:31 where God's action seems more direct in response to a plea without requiring repentance.

Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
