Contradiction with James 4:1-2
Attributes conflicts to desires that battle within, which could imply that 2 Chronicles 20:11's reaction might stem from inner desires.

Paradox #1
The contradiction in 2 Chronicles 20:11 could be seen in the context of how people's actions and claims about divine entitlement to land or resources conflict with principles of justice and fairness. It raises questions about justifying actions based on divine commands, which might contradict the idea of peaceful coexistence and respect for all communities.
