Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9
This verse emphasizes the transcendence and superiority of God's thoughts and ways over human understanding, which can be seen as contradicting the notion in 1 Kings 20:28 that God's power might be perceived as limited to certain locations.
Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with John 4:24
This verse declares that God is spirit and not limited to physical locations, contradicting the implication of 1 Kings 20:28 that God’s power was questioned based on geographical factors.
John 4:24: God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:23-24
These verses assert that God is omnipresent, contradicting the idea from 1 Kings 20:28 that His power could be limited or challenged based on whether He is the "God of the hills" or not.
Jeremiah 23:23-24: [Am] I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
Paradox #1
The scientific conflict might be the implication that a battle's outcome can be influenced by a deity's presence tied to specific geographical locations, such as hills or plains. This idea contrasts with scientific understanding, which attributes battle outcomes to strategy, technology, and human factors rather than supernatural influences.
Paradox #2
1 Kings 20:28 could present a contradiction by implying that God helps one group of people defeat another based on a mistaken belief about His power. This might seem inconsistent with the idea of a universally just and loving deity, as it suggests favoritism or a willingness to engage in violent conflict.
