Contradiction with 1 Samuel 8:7
1 Chronicles 29:23 describes Solomon sitting on the throne of the Lord, indicating divine approval. In contrast, 1 Samuel 8:7 denotes God expressing displeasure at Israel's desire for a human king, suggesting that earthly kingship is a rejection of God's rule.
1 Samuel 8:7: And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
Contradiction with Hosea 13:11
1 Chronicles 29:23 highlights Solomon's successful reign on the throne of the Lord. Meanwhile, Hosea 13:11 reflects God's anger by stating that He gave Israel a king in His anger and took him away in His wrath, implying divine disapproval over monarchy.
Hosea 13:11: I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took [him] away in my wrath.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
1 Chronicles 29:23 implies divine support for Solomon's kingship. Conversely, Jeremiah 17:5 warns against trusting in human leadership, which suggests skepticism towards earthly rulers and contradicts the idea of God's endorsement of Solomon's throne.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 12:17-19
1 Chronicles 29:23 shows Solomon's kingship as God-ordained. However, 1 Samuel 12:17-19 describes how God showed displeasure towards the Israelites for wanting a king by sending a thunderstorm, challenging the notion of divine approval of monarchy fundamentally.
1 Samuel 12:17-19: [Is it] not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness [is] great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 17:14-20
1 Chronicles 29:23 suggests fulfillment of God's plan with Solomon’s reign, yet Deuteronomy 17:14-20 lays down conditions and warnings regarding kingship as a concession to human desire rather than an ideal divine arrangement, indicating potential conflict with the narrative of divine foundation in 1 Chronicles.
Deuteronomy 17:14-20: When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;
