Contradiction with 2 Kings 11:1
This verse states that Athaliah attempted to destroy all the royal seed, yet it also implies there were survivors, which contradicts the idea of complete destruction in 2 Chronicles 22:10.
2 Kings 11:1: And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. [seed...: Heb. seed of the kingdom]
Paradox #1
In 2 Chronicles 22:10, there might be a contradiction or inconsistency regarding the family relationships and events involving Athaliah. In 2 Kings 11, which describes the same events, some details differ slightly, such as the lineage and actions of specific individuals. These differences can sometimes cause confusion about the historical accuracy and consistency between the two accounts.
Paradox #2
This verse describes an act of violence and power struggle within a royal family. The contradiction or conflict might come from the perspective that it involves actions that are harmful and ruthless, which can be difficult to reconcile with the Bible's broader messages of love, forgiveness, and kindness.
