How do you explain Biblical Contradictions? (moved from Gen. Theology)

[Washington]

All of the contradictions that I have seen athiests and others gloat over are easily explained if one has an understanding of how the Bible was written and what different types of literature it contains.

Yes, literature with mistakes. For instance, this contradiction:

1KI 4:26
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

2CH 9:25
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
​

or this blatant error:

LEV 11:6
And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

​

(hares don't produce a cud to chew )
