Contradiction with Galatians 6:7
This verse emphasizes reaping what one sows, contrasting with 2 Chronicles 24:25, where the punishment seems disproportionate to the crime.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
This verse advises love for enemies, while 2 Chronicles 24:25 discusses actions of retribution.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with Proverbs 11:21
This proverb assures that the wicked shall not go unpunished, contrasting with the notion of overall justice depicted in 2 Chronicles 24:25.
Proverbs 11:21: [Though] hand [join] in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
Contradiction with Exodus 23:7
This verse advises not to justify the wicked, yet in 2 Chronicles 24:25, a wicked act still receives a level of acknowledgment or success before punishment.
Exodus 23:7: Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:11
Suggests that the sentence against evil may be delayed, whereas 2 Chronicles 24:25 describes immediate consequences for betrayal.
Ecclesiastes 8:11: Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Contradiction with Proverbs 26:27
Proclaims that a person who sets a trap for others will fall into it themselves; 2 Chronicles 24:25 shows the eventual fulfillment of this principle but after some delay.
Proverbs 26:27: Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency might arise when comparing the account in 2 Chronicles 24:25 with the account in 2 Kings 12:20-21. Both passages describe the circumstances surrounding the death of King Joash, but there are differences in the details about where and how he was assassinated. This can lead to confusion about the specific events surrounding his death.
Paradox #2
This verse could show a contradiction because it depicts a violent end for a person who was once a leader. It raises questions about justice, loyalty, and how people who were once celebrated can meet tragic fates. It also makes one think about the fairness of such outcomes, regardless of previous accomplishments or status.
