Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:11
This verse contradicts 1 Kings 19:19 because it describes David as the chosen successor of a current anointed one, indicating an active seeking and surpassing of siblings rather than a passive invitation by another prophet.
1 Samuel 16:11: And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all [thy] children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. [down: Heb. round]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 1:5
This verse contradicts 1 Kings 19:19 as it speaks of preordained calling and assignment by God directly rather than through a prophet's immediate action.
Jeremiah 1:5: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. [ordained: Heb. gave]
Contradiction with Luke 9:59-60
This verse contradicts 1 Kings 19:19 in that it depicts Jesus' direct calling with an immediate expectation to follow, unlike the indirect action with Elisha through Elijah’s physical gesture.
Luke 9:59-60: And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
