Norman Geisler has written two open letters to Mike Licona regarding some assertions Licona makes in his massive tome “On the Resurrection of Jesus”.

A brother asked me about a textual variant in 1 Samuel 6:19 right as I was packing up after I spoke at the Jeremiah Cry conference in Brooklyn this afternoon. I did not have time to get him the needed information, so, here it is! 1 Sam. 6:19—7:1. Disposal of the Ark of God.—V. 19. As the ark had brought
