Holier Than Thou - Biblical Contradictions

Who occupied Aijalon and Gath Rimmon before the Kohathites, the tribe of Dan or Ephraim?

Joshua 21:20-24, "The rest of the Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted towns from the tribe of Ephraim: In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem (a city of refuge for one accused of murder) and Gezer, Kibzaim and Beth Horon, together with their pasturelands - four towns. Also from the tribe of Dan they received Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Aijalon and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands - four towns."

1 Chronicles 6:66-69, "Some of the Kohathite clans were given as their territory towns from the tribe of Ephraim. In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem (a city of refuge), and Gezer, Jokmeam, Beth Horon, Aijalon and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands."

Both Joshua and 1 Chronicles agree that the Kohathites inherited the lands of Aijalon and Gath Rimmon, however, Joshua claims that these lands formerly belonged to the tribe of Dan while 1 Chronicles claims that they formerly belonged to the tribe of Ephraim.

"Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth." (Ecclesiastes 7:3-4, KJV)
