Contradiction with Proverbs 16:7
This verse states that when a person's ways please the Lord, He makes even their enemies to be at peace with them, while in 1 Samuel 19:12, Saul, an enemy, seeks to kill David despite his pleasing ways before the Lord.
Proverbs 16:7: When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Contradiction with Romans 13:1
This verse commands to be subject to governing authorities, suggesting that David should not flee from Saul's authority, in contrast to 1 Samuel 19:12, where David escapes from Saul.
Romans 13:1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. [ordained: or, ordered]
Contradiction with Exodus 20:13
This verse commands not to kill, yet 1 Samuel 19:12 details David's escape due to Saul's intent to kill him, which showcases a contradiction of Saul's actions against God's commandment.
Exodus 20:13: Thou shalt not kill.
Contradiction with Psalm 91:11-12
These verses assure divine protection, suggesting that David should have been protected by God directly rather than needing to escape through a window as in 1 Samuel 19:12.
Psalm 91:11-12: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
This verse instructs to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, contrasting with 1 Samuel 19:12 where David must escape rather than resolve his conflict with Saul peacefully.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
