Contradiction with Judges 20:47
This verse states a different number of Benjamites who escaped, which contradicts the number of men gathered in Judges 20:15.
Judges 20:47: But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.
Contradiction with Judges 21:6
This passage shows regret for the destruction of the tribe of Benjamin, in contrast with the aggressive preparation for war seen in Judges 20:15.
Judges 21:6: And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this context refers to a discrepancy when comparing different biblical texts. In Judges 20:15, one version might report a specific number of soldiers, while another version or part of the Bible might provide a different figure for the same event or army. This leads to confusion or conflict about which number is accurate. However, without additional reference to another specific verse or version showing a different number, there cannot be a confirmed inconsistency. Thus, any contradiction depends on such comparisons.If you're just analyzing Judges 20:15 by itself without any external comparison, this task cannot be completed as requested.
