I'm struggling to understand why you have an opinion, one way or another, on ancient Israel and whether or not some tribes fought over it (or didn't fight over it, as the case may be).
In your struggle, what arguments were battling it out? I might be able to clarify.
(1) I should care whether there were 12 tribes struggling for control of ancient Israel.
(2) I should not care whether there were 12 tribes struggling for control of ancient Israel.
I voted the latter, probably because I don't know why I should care about something that may or may not have happened thousands of years ago. I hope that helps you help me.
I'm not sure, it's clearly something you care about now, but you seem conflicted about whether you "should" care.
I care because I don't understand why you care. You still haven't explained why you care and I've asked twice already.
You care because I care? Will the third time be on bended knee?
