Contradiction with Exodus 21:12
This verse demands death for those who smite a man so that he dies, which contrasts with Jonathan's argument in 1 Samuel 19:4 that David should not be killed because he has not sinned against Saul.
Exodus 21:12: He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
Contradiction with Proverbs 24:17
This verse advises not to rejoice when your enemy falls, which contradicts the suggestion that Saul seeks David's harm despite him doing good, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 19:4.
Proverbs 24:17: Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Contradiction with 1 John 3:15
This verse states that whoever hates his brother is a murderer, contradicting Saul's intention to kill David as described in 1 Samuel 19:4.
1 John 3:15: Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Contradiction with James 2:13
This verse states that judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful, which contradicts Saul's lack of mercy towards David in 1 Samuel 19:4.
James 2:13: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. [rejoiceth: or, glorieth]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
This verse instructs to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, which contradicts Saul's intent to kill David presented in 1 Samuel 19:4.
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;
Paradox #1
The contradiction in 1 Samuel 19:4 could be seen in the context of loyalty and honesty. Jonathan speaks well of David even though Saul wants to harm David. This raises questions about loyalty to family versus loyalty to a friend. Jonathan chooses to defend his friend instead of siding with his father's wishes, potentially creating a conflict between familial duty and standing up for what is right.
