Contradiction with Deuteronomy 21:22-23
This verse states that a hanged man's body should not remain on a tree overnight, while 1 Chronicles 10:10 describes Saul's head being fastened in the temple of Dagon.
Deuteronomy 21:22-23: And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 31:10
It says Saul's armor was put in the house of the Ashtaroth, differing from 1 Chronicles 10:10, which mentions the temple of Dagon.
1 Samuel 31:10: And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
Contradiction with Exodus 23:24
Commands the destruction of pagan altars and idols, contradicting the display of Saul's head in a pagan temple as in 1 Chronicles 10:10.
Exodus 23:24: Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in 1 Chronicles 10:10 involves the account of Saul's death and what happened to his body afterward. In 1 Chronicles, it describes the Philistines placing his armor in the house of their gods and his head in the house of Dagon. However, in other biblical accounts, specifically 1 Samuel 31, it's mentioned that the Philistines fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan without mentioning Dagon's temple. These differences can appear inconsistent regarding the exact handling and location of Saul's remains after his death.
