Check out Contradictions Catalog of 1 Kings 22:28 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts 1 Kings 22:28. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of 1 Kings, this verse shows that Micaiah, who was a prophet, was trying to warn the people that if the king comes back safely, then God did not really tell him the message he shared. Micaiah wanted everyone to pay attention because he was sure God had really spoken to him about what would happen.

1 Kings 22:28: And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 28:9

This verse suggests that if a prophet's prediction comes to pass, then that is how you know they are truly from the Lord, which contrasts with Micaiah's prophecy being questioned and unheeded in 1 Kings 22:28.

Jeremiah 28:9: The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, [then] shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 18:22

This verse states that if a prophet speaks and the thing does not happen, then it is not from the Lord, contradicting the scenario where Micaiah's true prophecy is doubted until proven.

Deuteronomy 18:22: When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 13:9

This verse says false prophets will not be in the council of God's people, but in 1 Kings 22:28, Micaiah’s true words are challenged among other prophets.

Ezekiel 13:9: And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD. [assembly: or, secret, or, counsel]

Contradiction with Matthew 24:11

This verse warns about the rise of false prophets deceiving many, whereas in 1 Kings 22:28, Micaiah provides a true prophecy that is rejected by the king.

Matthew 24:11: And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
