Contradiction with 1 Kings 5:3-5
Solomon expresses that David could not build the temple due to the wars around him, contradicting the notion that David was chosen for this task.
1 Kings 5:3-5: Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
Contradiction with 2 Samuel 7:5-13
God tells Nathan to inform David that he will not build the temple; his offspring will, creating a contradiction with the idea of David being directly responsible for the temple.
2 Samuel 7:5-13: Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? [my servant...: Heb. to my servant, to David]
Contradiction with 1 Kings 8:18-19
God acknowledges David's desire to build the temple but emphasizes that he will not do it, implying a contradiction with David's anticipatory role in 1 Chronicles 22:10.
1 Kings 8:18-19: And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 28:3
It explicitly states David was not to build the temple because he was a man of war, contradicting the supportive role suggested in 1 Chronicles 22:10.
1 Chronicles 28:3: But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast shed blood. [blood: Heb. bloods]
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction with 1 Chronicles 22:10 could relate to the differing accounts of who is chosen to build the temple. In this verse, Solomon is mentioned as the builder of the temple. However, in some interpretations of earlier scriptures, such as those in the books of Samuel or Kings, there could be seen as a perceived tension with declarations or promises involving David. Readers might see an inconsistency in the narrative of who God intended or permitted to build the temple.
Paradox #2
The contradiction with 1 Chronicles 22:10 could be related to who builds the temple. According to this account, Solomon is designated to construct the temple, but in other parts of the Bible, it is mentioned that this was a task intended for David. This can cause confusion about the role each played in this significant event.
