Contradiction with Deuteronomy 20:1

This verse speaks to trusting in God's deliverance against enemies, but does not specify a miraculous victory, as described in 1 Chronicles 11:14.

Contradiction with Proverbs 21:31

This verse suggests that even though preparation for battle is important, the victory is ultimately from the Lord, which could imply a different emphasis than human action described in 1 Chronicles 11:14.

Proverbs 21:31: The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD. [safety: or, victory]

Contradiction with Psalm 44:3

States that they didn't win the land by their sword, which might be seen as differing from the active battle description in 1 Chronicles 11:14.

Warns against relying solely on horses and chariots, whereas in 1 Chronicles 11:14, the focus is on human battle and deliverance.

Isaiah 31:1: Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
