How many valiant men in Israel & Judah? | Answering the Atheist
Inquiry:
How many valiant men drew the sword in Israel and Judah as counted by Joab? In 2 Samuel 24:9 there are 800,000 for Israel and 500,000 for Judah; but 1 Chronicles 21:5 says 1,100,000 and 470,000 respectively. Is there a contradiction?
