Contradiction with Exodus 15:1
This verse attributes the victory and song to the Lord, contrasting with 1 Samuel 29:5 where credit is given to David for slaying "his ten thousands."
Exodus 15:1: Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 32:39
This verse states there is no god besides the Lord, highlighting divine power, contrasting with the emphasis on David's military achievements in 1 Samuel 29:5.
Deuteronomy 32:39: See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.
Contradiction with Isaiah 42:8
Here the Lord declares He will not share His glory, contrasting with 1 Samuel 29:5 where David receives glory and praise for his victories.
Isaiah 42:8: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 9:23-24
This verse advises against boasting in personal achievements, unlike in 1 Samuel 29:5 where David's exploits are celebrated.
Jeremiah 9:23-24: Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches:
Contradiction with Psalm 44:3
The victory is attributed to God's power, whereas 1 Samuel 29:5 credits David with slaying his tens of thousands.
Psalm 44:3: For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency could be that the verse mentions the Israelites singing about David's military victories, especially his triumph over tens of thousands. However, at this point in the narrative, David's reputation was still growing, and such fame and widespread recognition might seem exaggerated or out of place compared to earlier accounts. Additionally, it portrays Saul, who was aware of David's growing popularity, in contrast to the support David receives from foreign allies, showing internal political conflict within the narrative.
