Contradiction with Proverbs 20:22
This verse advises against seeking personal revenge, encouraging waiting on the Lord instead, whereas in 1 Samuel 24:9, David confronts Saul about listening to men who suggest he is seeking harm, which implies an immediate desire for justice rather than a passive approach.
Proverbs 20:22: Say not thou, I will recompense evil; [but] wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
This verse instructs to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, contrasting with the situation in 1 Samuel 24:9, where David confronts Saul rather than showing unconditional love and forgiveness.
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;
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
This verse advises leaving room for God's wrath instead of taking vengeance, which challenges the confrontational stance in 1 Samuel 24:9, as David personally addresses Saul rather than leaving the situation entirely to God.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 3:9
This verse advises not to repay evil for evil or insult for insult, whereas in 1 Samuel 24:9, David confronts Saul based on accusations against him, potentially signaling a reproach for perceived injustice.
1 Peter 3:9: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
