Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 29:28
Contradicts because it states David was in full life when he made Solomon king, whereas 1 Chronicles 23:1 implies he was old when he made Solomon king.
1 Chronicles 29:28: And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 1:1-2
Contradicts by suggesting David was unable and frail, which conflicts with the portrayal of him actively making Solomon king in 1 Chronicles 23:1.
1 Kings 1:1-2: Now king David was old [and] stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. [stricken...: Heb. entered into days]
Contradiction with 1 Kings 1:32-34
Contradicts as it provides a specific instance of David making Solomon king due to the Adonijah incident, whereas 1 Chronicles 23:1 offers a more general summary of events.
1 Kings 1:32-34: And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
Paradox #1
1 Chronicles 23:1 mentions David making Solomon king, but other parts of the Bible, such as 1 Kings, describe a more complicated process where Solomon's kingship was contested. This creates a potential inconsistency in how the transition of power is portrayed.
