Contradiction with 2 Samuel 5:11
2 Samuel 5:11 describes King Hiram of Tyre sending cedar trees to David, which appears to contradict 1 Chronicles 22:4, where David arranges for cedar trees himself.
2 Samuel 5:11: And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house. [masons: Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall]
Contradiction with 1 Kings 5:8
In 1 Kings 5:8, Solomon is responsible for obtaining cedar trees from Tyre, contrasting with David's preparations in 1 Chronicles 22:4.
1 Kings 5:8: And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: [and] I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. [considered: Heb. heard]
Contradiction with 1 Kings 6:9
This verse states that Solomon completed the construction using cedar, which could be viewed as inconsistent with David's preparations in 1 Chronicles 22:4, as it emphasizes Solomon's role in gathering materials.
1 Kings 6:9: So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar. [with...: or, the vaultbeams and the panellings with cedar]
Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 14:1
This verse mentions Hiram providing cedar wood to David, suggesting an external contribution contrary to the implication in 1 Chronicles 22:4 that David alone prepared the materials.
1 Chronicles 14:1: Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
