Each record is a claim that passages conflict — recorded so it can be examined, not endorsed. Records carry propositions, an editorial classification, and, where reviewed, a formal analysis and the premises any harmonisation must supply.

Exodus 3:2 reports that the angel of the LORD appeared to Moses in the flame of fire out of the bush. Two verses later the narrator says the LORD saw, and God called to Moses out of the bush. The narration shifts referent without comment.
Exodus 6:3 states that God appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but was not known to them by his name YHWH. Passages in Genesis nevertheless use that name in the patriarchal narratives, including on the lips of the LORD speaking to Abraham and in a place-name Abraham gives.
1 Samuel narrates David killing the Philistine champion. 2 Samuel 21:19 reports that Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, slew Goliath the Gittite — the King James Version supplies the words "the brother of" in italics, marking them as not present in the Hebrew. 1 Chronicles 20:5 reports that Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath.
2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles both introduce the first-named member of David’s mighty men and both report a number of men killed with a spear on a single occasion. The figures differ: eight hundred in Samuel, three hundred in Chronicles. The passages also differ in the name and epithet given to the warrior.
Matthew’s genealogy states that Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary. Luke’s genealogy describes Jesus as being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli.
Beyond the single question of Joseph’s father, the two genealogies differ in direction, in starting and ending points, in structure, and across most of the names between David and Joseph. This record treats the comparison as a whole rather than any single disagreement.
