Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in Judges 18:25 could relate to the themes of violence and threats used by the Danites. This might be seen as conflicting with other biblical teachings that promote peace and love for one's neighbor. The inconsistency lies in resolving disputes through aggression instead of reconciliation or dialogue.
