"What tribe was Aijalon from?" (Alleged Contradiction #E8700)
And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs, Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities.
Joshua 21:23-24
And the residue of the families of the sons of Kohath had cities of their coasts out of the tribe of Ephraim. … And Aijalon with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs …
I Chronicles 6:66, 69
Response
Joshua was written long before I Chronicles. Apparently the tribe of Dan had forsaken or given up the cities of Aijalon and Gathrimmon by this time, and so now they belonged to Ephraim.
