Contradiction with Exodus 4:10
This verse contradicts with Judges 6:16 because Moses expresses self-doubt about his speaking abilities, whereas in Judges 6:16, God assures Gideon of His presence and victory.
Exodus 4:10: And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I [am] slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. [eloquent: Heb. a man of words] [heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, nor since the third day]
Contradiction with Judges 3:28

Judges 3:28: And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
Contradiction with Numbers 14:42
This verse contradicts with Judges 6:16 because it warns the Israelites that they will not succeed due to God's absence, whereas Judges 6:16 assures Gideon of success because God is with him.
Numbers 14:42: Go not up, for the LORD [is] not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 17:47

1 Samuel 17:47: And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.
Contradiction with Psalm 44:3
This verse contradicts Judges 6:16 by attributing victory to God's power, not human effort, contrasting with the assurance given to Gideon's active role with God's presence.
Psalm 44:3: For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
