Believe it or not in Bible Vs Quran (2) the Biblical Superman became weak? (B)
In the Bible, it seems likely that the writers of the Old Testament figured out that the verse of 2 Samuel 23:8 is unbelievable and it is very hard to believe that one of King David's Mighty Men lifted up his spear against 800 men and killed all of them immediately.
For this reason, the eminent writers of the Old Testament tried to solve this problem and they have changed the story and said (in 1 Chronicles 11:11) that this Mighty Man lifted up his spear against 300 men (not 800) and killed all of them at once.
Dees this indicate that this Superman became weak?

It is interesting that 40% of the eminent Biblical scholars who translate the Biblefrom Hebrew to English do not believe in this story; that is why they did their best in an attempt to make the story believable.
If you smart reader compares the present article with the previous one:
