Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 9:7
Suggests giving should not be out of necessity, whereas 1 Samuel 9:7 mentions a necessity to have a gift to approach a prophet.
2 Corinthians 9:7: Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Contradiction with Matthew 10:8
Encourages giving freely without charge, whereas 1 Samuel 9:7 implies a requirement to bring a gift to receive guidance.
Matthew 10:8: Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:1
Invites coming without money or price, yet 1 Samuel 9:7 involves having something to give.
Isaiah 55:1: Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Paradox #1
1 Samuel 9:7 may suggest a need for material exchange or offering to receive divine insight or favor, which could be seen as inconsistent with the broader biblical teachings that emphasize free grace, faith, and the accessibility of God's guidance without monetary cost.
