Contradiction with 1 Kings 3:12
Contradiction with 1 Kings 4:34 arises because 1 Kings 3:12 suggests unparalleled wisdom given to Solomon, yet 1 Kings 4:34 indicates others like the Queen of Sheba still questioned his wisdom.
1 Kings 3:12: Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:16-18
Solomon himself claims to have achieved great wisdom, which contradicts with 1 Kings 4:34, as it implies wisdom may lead to grief, challenging the universally positive portrayal in 1 Kings 4:34.
Ecclesiastes 1:16-18: I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all [they] that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. [had...: Heb. had seen much]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 1:25
This verse suggests that God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, indirectly challenging the supremacy of Solomon's wisdom claimed in 1 Kings 4:34.
1 Corinthians 1:25: Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Contradiction with Matthew 12:42
Jesus claims greater wisdom than Solomon, contradicting 1 Kings 4:34 by suggesting that Solomon's wisdom was not the pinnacle of divine insight.
Matthew 12:42: The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
