These verses declare that no king is saved by the multitude of an army, contradicting the emphasis on military strength in 2 Chronicles 25:8.

Paradox #1

The potential doctrinal conflict in this verse can stem from the message about relying on human strength versus divine strength. In some parts of the Bible, there's an emphasis on God's power and trusting Him alone for victory or success, while this verse might seem to suggest the need for human support or alliances. This could appear inconsistent with the concept of faith in God's sufficiency.

Paradox #2

This verse might seem contradictory because it advises against relying on human strength or external alliances for victory, implying trust in divine power instead. Yet, other parts of the Bible show instances where strategic human partnerships are formed and acknowledged. This could create confusion about whether to rely on human efforts or divine intervention.
