Contradiction with 1 Kings 3:2
This verse states that people were sacrificing in high places because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, whereas 1 Chronicles 21:29 implies that there was an established altar at the time.

Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 1:3
This verse mentions Solomon and all the congregation going to the high place at Gibeon for sacrifices because God’s tabernacle was there, which contradicts 1 Chronicles 21:29 indicating the presence of an altar at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Contradiction with Exodus 20:24
This verse instructs the making of an altar of earth to sacrifice on, contrasting with 1 Chronicles 21:29 where the altar was at a specific location chosen by David rather than made by him.
Exodus 20:24: An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 12:5-7
This passage directs worship at the designated place chosen by God, suggesting centralized worship, conflicting with 1 Chronicles 21:29 where David offers sacrifice at a unique location due to extraordinary circumstances.

Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency with 1 Chronicles 21:29 could be related to the timing and location of events. In this verse, there is a mention of an altar built by David. However, there could be confusion or inconsistency when compared to other biblical accounts regarding the time and place where David built altars or offered sacrifices, such as differences with similar accounts in 2 Samuel. These inconsistencies may arise from different authors or sources recounting the events differently.
