Contradiction with 2 Samuel 5:14
It lists different names for some children born to David in Jerusalem, differing from those in 1 Chronicles 3:5.
2 Samuel 5:14: And these [be] the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 14:4
The ordering and listing of David's children vary from 1 Chronicles 3:5, creating a discrepancy.
1 Chronicles 14:4: Now these [are] the names of [his] children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
Paradox #1
1 Chronicles 3:5 lists four sons of David born to him in Jerusalem by Bathsheba, named Bathshua here. However, in 2 Samuel 11-12, the story of Bathsheba states that their first son died shortly after birth, and Solomon was born afterwards. This can create confusion about the number of children and their sequence.
Paradox #2
The potential numerical inconsistency in 1 Chronicles 3:5 relates to the names and number of children listed. In some bible translations, there might be differences in the spelling of names or the number of children attributed to certain individuals when compared to other parts of the Bible. This can cause confusion about the exact names and count of the children.
