Check out Contradictions Catalog of 1 Chronicles 22:9 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts 1 Chronicles 22:9. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of the book of 1 Chronicles, God told David that his son, Solomon, would be a special king who would bring peace and calm times to Israel. God promised that Solomon wouldn't have to fight lots of battles and would help everyone live peacefully.

1 Chronicles 22:9: Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. [Solomon: that is, Peaceable]

Contradiction with Matthew 10:34

This verse indicates Jesus did not come to bring peace, contradicting the peace attributed to Solomon's reign in 1 Chronicles 22:9.

Matthew 10:34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 6:14

This verse speaks to false declarations of peace when there is none, contradicting the promised peace during the time of Solomon.

Jeremiah 6:14: They have healed also the hurt [of the daughter] of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace. [hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach]

Contradiction with Ezekiel 13:10

The verse describes a false sense of peace, which contrasts with the genuine peace mentioned during Solomon's reign in 1 Chronicles 22:9.

Ezekiel 13:10: Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered [morter]: [a wall: or, a slight wall]

Contradiction with Isaiah 57:21

This verse states there is no peace for the wicked, which can contradict the notion of peace during Solomon’s reign if considering his later actions in life.

Isaiah 57:21: [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Paradox #1

The contradiction in that verse could be seen in how it speaks about a person of peace being chosen to lead after a time of war, even though the background involves conflict and bloodshed. It raises questions about how peace is established and maintained after violence and whether true peace can originate from violent circumstances.
