Contradiction with 1 Samuel 10:24
This verse shows all the people shouting and expressing support for Saul as king, whereas in 1 Kings 1:47, Solomon is made king and receives support instead, indicating a differing acceptance of kingship.
1 Samuel 10:24: And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that [there is] none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king. [God...: Heb. Let the king live]
Contradiction with 1 Kings 2:15
Adonijah claims the kingdom was his and all Israel supported him, contradicting the unified acceptance of Solomon's kingship in 1 Kings 1:47.
1 Kings 2:15: And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and [that] all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:1
God rejects Saul as king and chooses David, showing divine disapproval of a king, which contrasts with 1 Kings 1:47, where Solomon's kingship is celebrated.
1 Samuel 16:1: And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 12:19
Israel's rebellion against the house of David after Solomon's reign contradicts the unified support seen in 1 Kings 1:47.
1 Kings 12:19: So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. [rebelled: or, fell away]
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in the context of 1 Kings 1:47 might relate to the differing accounts of who supported Solomon's ascension to the throne. There are parts in 1 Kings and other biblical texts, like 1 Chronicles, that describe the events and supporters differently, potentially leading to confusion about the exact details of how Solomon became king and who was involved in the transition of power.
