Contradiction with 1 Samuel 2:30
While 1 Kings 16:6 states that Baasha was buried and slept with his fathers, 1 Samuel 2:30 says God will honor those who honor Him, suggesting longevity for the faithful, which contrasts with Baasha's fate due to his actions.
1 Samuel 2:30: Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Contradiction with Proverbs 10:27
This verse asserts that the years of the wicked shall be shortened, contrasting with 1 Kings 16:6, where Baasha seems to receive an honorable burial despite his sins.
Proverbs 10:27: The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. [prolongeth: Heb. addeth]
Contradiction with Job 21:13
Job speaks of the wicked spending their days in wealth and dying peacefully, which contradicts with 1 Kings 16:6, where Baasha’s end comes as a result of his deeds.
Job 21:13: They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. [in wealth: or, in mirth]
Contradiction with Isaiah 48:22
This verse states there is no peace for the wicked, contradicting 1 Kings 16:6, which suggests a peaceful end for Baasha by stating he slept with his fathers.
Isaiah 48:22: [There is] no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:10
It remarks how wicked people are given a proper burial despite their actions, similar to Baasha's burial, but ecclesiastically questions the justice in this, offering a contradiction to 1 Kings 16:6.
Ecclesiastes 8:10: And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this [is] also vanity.
