Contradiction with 2 Samuel 5:3
This verse accounts for David's anointing at Hebron by the elders of Israel, similar to 1 Chronicles 11:3, and does not present a direct contradiction but rather a parallel narrative, yet differences in details or context could be interpreted as conflicting by some.
2 Samuel 5:3: So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:13
This verse describes Samuel anointing David as king, which is a separate occasion from the events in 1 Chronicles 11:3, suggesting that David was anointed more than once, potentially infringing on the singular official anointing described.
1 Samuel 16:13: Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:28
God tells Saul that the kingdom will be given to a neighbor (David), which preempts David's rule, implying a divine choice as opposed to a people's covenant as implied in 1 Chronicles 11:3.
1 Samuel 15:28: And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, [that is] better than thou.
Contradiction with 2 Samuel 2:4
The men of Judah anoint David as king over Judah, which differs from the whole Israelite assembly's action described in 1 Chronicles 11:3, potentially showing a fragmented anointing process rather than a unified one.
2 Samuel 2:4: And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, [That] the men of Jabeshgilead [were they] that buried Saul.
Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 10:14
It indicates that Saul lost the kingdom because he did not seek guidance from the Lord, implicitly contrasting the divine favor on David implied in the covenant of 1 Chronicles 11:3.
1 Chronicles 10:14: And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. [Jesse: Heb. Isai]
Contradiction with 2 Samuel 3:10
This refers to a plan to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul to establish David's throne over Israel and Judah, not necessarily reflecting the collective anointing and covenant with the elders in 1 Chronicles 11:3.
2 Samuel 3:10: To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.
Contradiction with Hosea 8:4
"They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not..." This can imply that human anointing or selection of a king, as in 1 Chronicles 11:3, may not always align with divine will.
Hosea 8:4: They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew [it] not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
