Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
Judge not, that ye be not judged. This verse contradicts Judges 18:17, which involves judgment and action taken by the children of Dan without divine instruction, contrary to the principle of refraining from judgment.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. This contradicts the decision-making in Judges 18:17, where actions were based on the tribe of Dan's own understanding instead of seeking divine guidance.
Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath. Contrasts with Judges 18:17, where the Danites take matters into their own hands rather than leaving vengeance to God.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with Psalm 37:8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. This opposes the actions taken in Judges 18:17, where the Danites continue in aggressive and potentially wrathful behavior.
Psalm 37:8: Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Contradiction with Proverbs 16:7
When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. This contradicts their method in Judges 18:17, suggesting peaceful resolutions are preferable to the approach the Danites took.
