Psalm 145:18: The LORD [is] nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Contradiction with Romans 3:11

Romans 3:11: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:32
This verse expresses that God takes no pleasure in the death of anyone, contrasting with 1 Chronicles 28:9 which warns of being cast off if not serving God willingly.

Contradiction with Romans 10:12-13
These verses state that there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for all who call upon the Lord will be saved, which contrasts with the conditional promise in 1 Chronicles 28:9.
Romans 10:12-13: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Contradiction with John 6:44
This verse claims that no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them, differing from the instruction in 1 Chronicles 28:9 that Solomon should actively seek God.
John 6:44: No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Contradiction with Hebrews 11:6
It implies that faith is necessary to please God and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him, contrasting the idea that understanding or knowledge alone is sufficient as hinted in 1 Chronicles 28:9.
Hebrews 11:6: But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Paradox #1
1 Chronicles 28:9 emphasizes seeking and serving God with a wholehearted devotion, suggesting that God searches every heart and understands every desire. A potential theological conflict arises when considering the concept of free will, as the idea of God knowing every thought and motivation might seem at odds with the belief that humans freely choose their own actions. This could lead to questions about the nature of free will if God already knows a person's path.
Paradox #2
The moral conflict in this verse could be that it emphasizes complete devotion and seeking God wholeheartedly but also implies a conditional relationship based on human actions. Some might see a conflict between the idea of unconditional divine love and the notion that God's acceptance is contingent on human behavior.
