Check out Contradictions Catalog of Judges 13:2 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Judges 13:2. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of the Book of Judges, there was a man named Manoah who lived in the town of Zorah, and he and his wife couldn't have children. This story shows that God sometimes works in surprising ways, even when things seem impossible.

Judges 13:2: And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name [was] Manoah; and his wife [was] barren, and bare not.

Contradiction with Genesis 21:1-2

These verses contradict Judges 13:2 by depicting Sarah, who was barren, then blessed with a child by God's intervention, suggesting a resolution to barrenness unlike the ongoing situation in Judges 13:2.

Genesis 21:1-2: And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 1:2-20

Hannah was initially barren but later had a child, contradicting Judges 13:2 where barrenness is presented without immediate resolution.

1 Samuel 1:2-20: And he had two wives; the name of the one [was] Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

Contradiction with Isaiah 54:1

This verse calls for rejoicing in barren women, whereas Judges 13:2 presents barrenness as a statement of fact without joy.

Isaiah 54:1: Sing, O barren, thou [that] didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou [that] didst not travail with child: for more [are] the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

Contradiction with Luke 1:7-13

This verse describes Zacharias and Elisabeth as initially childless due to barrenness, but then they have John the Baptist; it contrasts with the ongoing barrenness in Judges 13:2.

Luke 1:7-13: And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.

Contradiction with Psalm 127:3

Illustrates children as a heritage from the Lord, implying a contradiction with Judges 13:2 where childlessness is a present condition.

Psalm 127:3: Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.
