Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 25:18
This verse uses a parable by King Jehoash to warn King Amaziah against pride and overconfidence, which contrasts with the military defeat depicted in 2 Chronicles 25:22.
2 Chronicles 25:18: And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that [was] in Lebanon sent to the cedar that [was] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that [was] in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle. [thistle: or, furze bush, or, thorn] [a wild...: Heb. a beast of the field]
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 25:27

2 Chronicles 25:27: Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there. [from...: Heb. from after] [made...: Heb. conspired a conspiracy]
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 26:5
