Contradiction with Proverbs 16:9
While 1 Samuel 14:37 shows Saul seeking God for guidance and not receiving an answer, Proverbs 16:9 emphasizes that a man's heart can plan, but the Lord ultimately directs his steps, suggesting God is always guiding.
Proverbs 16:9: A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
Contradiction with James 1:5
In 1 Samuel 14:37, Saul inquires of God but receives no answer. James 1:5 promises that God gives wisdom generously to those who ask, suggesting a contradiction in God's responsiveness.
James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Contradiction with Matthew 21:22
Saul seeks an answer from God and receives none in 1 Samuel 14:37. However, Matthew 21:22 assures that with faith, whatever you ask in prayer will be received, contradicting Saul’s unanswered prayer.
Matthew 21:22: And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 33:3
1 Samuel 14:37 depicts God not answering Saul, but Jeremiah 33:3 promises that God will answer and reveal great things to those who call on Him, conflicting with Saul's experience of silence.
Jeremiah 33:3: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. [mighty: or, hidden]
Contradiction with John 14:13-14
In 1 Samuel 14:37, Saul does not receive a response from God. John 14:13-14 promises that anything asked in Jesus’ name will be done, contrary to the silence faced by Saul.
John 14:13-14: And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
