Contradiction with 1 Kings 1:1-2
1 Kings describes King David's health condition in a positive light compared to the ailing condition of King Ahaziah in 2 Chronicles 22:6.
1 Kings 1:1-2: Now king David was old [and] stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. [stricken...: Heb. entered into days]
Contradiction with 2 Kings 9:16
Ahaziah's state and actions are described differently, with a focus on his movements with Joram, contrasting the context given in 2 Chronicles 22:6.
2 Kings 9:16: So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
Contradiction with John 11:4
Contradicts the portrayal of sickness leading to death, as in the healing narrative instead of a worsening condition described for Ahaziah.
John 11:4: When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
Paradox #1
The contradiction involves the account of Ahaziah's reign and death in relation to another biblical book, 2 Kings 8:29. Both books mention Ahaziah being injured and his eventual death. However, the discrepancies in the details between the two accounts, like the location and events surrounding the injury and death, may cause confusion.
