2nd Samuel 10:18 a description of a war fought by David saying that he killed 7000 men and that he also killed 40000 men on horsebacks.
In 1st Chronicles 19 it mentions the same episode saying that he killed 70000 men and the 40000 men were not on horsebacks, they were on foot.
How do you explain this?
Btw, i'm a muslim. I'm not attacking anybody but just wanted to know your response to this. Thanks

Okay I'm just trying to get this straight...so 2 Samuel 10:18- But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers. He also struck down Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.
1 Chronicles 19:18 - But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand of their food soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
This is what my bible says, it could just be a translation error, I have New International Version. Many Latin words mean different things in English, like the work "week" - means seven, yet we think of it as seven days

Hi
first of all, ive seen that one before and know the bible doesnot contradict each other. I am sorry i dont have the answer right now.
However........ You should consider the claims of Jesus that he is the risen messiah. NEBA ISA ALLAH. JESUS IS GOD.
ALLAH...IS NOT. MADE UP.http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/believing.htm
