Contradiction with Romans 12:19
This verse advises against taking vengeance, which contrasts with the military victory and destruction over enemies described in Joshua 10:10.

Paradox #1
The contradiction in this context could be the juxtaposition of divine support for violence, as the verse describes God aiding in a battle. This may conflict with themes of peace and love found elsewhere in the Bible, leading to questions about the morality of divinely-sanctioned warfare versus broader messages of compassion and non-violence.
