Contradiction with Isaiah 40:29
This verse speaks of God's strength and giving power to the weak, contradicting the portrayal of overwhelming earthly military might in 2 Chronicles 14:9.
Isaiah 40:29: He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:5
This beatitude claims the meek will inherit the earth, whereas 2 Chronicles 14:9 describes a situation driven by military force rather than humility.
Matthew 5:5: Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Contradiction with Psalm 33:16
This verse expresses that safety or victory does not come through the size of an army, contrasting with the vast Ethiopian host mentioned in 2 Chronicles 14:9.
Psalm 33:16: There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
Contradiction with Zechariah 4:6
This passage highlights reliance on God’s Spirit rather than might or power, unlike the scenario in 2 Chronicles 14:9.
Zechariah 4:6: Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. [might: or, army]
Contradiction with Psalm 20:7
Focuses on trusting in the Lord rather than in chariots and horses, which contrasts with the military buildup seen in 2 Chronicles 14:9.
Psalm 20:7: Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
