Intro<\/strong><\/p>\nThe SAB-critic has searched diligently for an impressing Bible Contradiction and, he thought he had found one in two seemingly conflicting passages in the book of Judges concerning iron chariots.
\n\tIn the beginning of the book an overview is given of the history shortly after Joshua’s passing away. How did the Israelites survive in their conflicts with the Canaanites? In this part of the book it is told that the tribe of Judah was able to take possession of the hill country, but they were not able to take the valley … as they were confronted with iron chariots. Apparently they were too heavy for them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Who wasn’t able? God or Judah?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe passage Judges 1:19 has been taken from the KJV translation as it is the most literal rendering and useful in this discussion. In the King James Version it seems as if God (he) was not able to drive out the inhabitants of the valley because of the iron chariots. However, also the King James translators didn’t use a capital letter for “he”. They clearly pointed to Judah with “he” and not to God. And rightly so as this information is given in a series of military operations of the tribe of Judah. And so: Sorry for the SAB critic: again no real Bible Contradiction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Barak’s victory<\/strong><\/p>\nOne may ask: “But how was it possible then that later the Israel army consisting of merely infantry could prevail over an army with nine hundred iron chariots?” Barak gathered his soldiers on the mount Tabor near the river Kishon, as Deborah had ordered him to do. And during the battle the river became a wild stream of water (Judges 5:21) that made it impossible for the Canaanites (under command of Sisera) to use their iron chariots properly; they had to leave them. A great victory for Barak and his army.
