Contradiction with Matthew 7:7
This verse promises that those who ask, seek, and knock will receive, find, and have doors opened, whereas 1 Samuel 2:36 speaks of begging for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, suggesting scarcity.
Matthew 7:7: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Contradiction with Philippians 4:19
This verse assures that God will supply all needs according to His riches, while 1 Samuel 2:36 describes a situation of need and begging.
Philippians 4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with Luke 12:24
This verse emphasizes God's provision and care, even for ravens, in contrast to 1 Samuel 2:36, which describes a lack of provision and dependency on others.
Luke 12:24: Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
Contradiction with Psalm 37:25
This verse states that the righteous are never forsaken or their children begging bread, compared to 1 Samuel 2:36, where asking for bread indicates a state of being forsaken or needy.
Psalm 37:25: I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Paradox #1
This verse implies that those who once had a position of privilege and authority will become dependent on others for their basic needs. The moral conflict might arise from the idea that people are reduced to begging or pleading for sustenance, which could be seen as lacking in compassion or mercy. There's a tension between justice and empathy, as the punishment seems harsh, potentially conflicting with the broader biblical themes of forgiveness and care for the needy.
