Contradiction with Exodus 20:13
"Thou shalt not kill" contradicts 1 Kings 3:27 as it suggests that taking a life is against God's commandments, whereas the ruling initially threatened the life of the child.
Exodus 20:13: Thou shalt not kill.
Contradiction with Genesis 9:6
"Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed" contradicts 1 Kings 3:27 as it emphasizes the sanctity of life, contrasting the proposed division of the child.
Genesis 9:6: Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
"But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also" contradicts 1 Kings 3:27 as it advocates for non-violence, whereas Solomon initially suggests a violent solution.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this situation could be seen in the way a drastic and violent solution (threatening to cut the child in two) is used to reveal the true mother. Some might find it morally troubling that such a harsh method was employed, even though it was not carried out, to solve the problem. This could be seen as inconsistent with ideas of kindness and compassion.
