Contradiction with 1 Kings 3:1
This verse shows Solomon forming an alliance with Pharaoh through marriage, which contrasts with his later action in 2 Chronicles 8:11 where he moves Pharaoh's daughter out of the City of David, suggesting a change in his regard for the union.
1 Kings 3:1: And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

These verses command the Israelites not to marry foreigners to prevent them from turning to other gods, contradicting Solomon's marriage to Pharaoh's daughter mentioned in 2 Chronicles 8:11.
Deuteronomy 7:3-4: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 11:1-2
These verses describe Solomon's many foreign wives leading him astray from God, which contradicts his earlier action in 2 Chronicles 8:11 hinting at separate living spaces to avoid such influences.
1 Kings 11:1-2: But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, [and] Hittites; [together...: or, beside]
Contradiction with Ezra 9:1-2
These verses express concern over intermarriage with foreigners leading to unfaithfulness to God, contradicting Solomon’s marriage to Pharaoh’s daughter mentioned in 2 Chronicles 8:11.
Ezra 9:1-2: Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, [doing] according to their abominations, [even] of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
Contradiction with Nehemiah 13:26
This verse warns against foreign marriage by referring to Solomon's own departure from faith due to his wives, contradicting 2 Chronicles 8:11's implication of Solomon's potential corrective measure.
Nehemiah 13:26: Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
Paradox #1
2 Chronicles 8:11 may cause confusion because it mentions Solomon moving Pharaoh's daughter to a different house. This could conflict with earlier narratives about Solomon's marriages and political alliances, particularly regarding relationships with foreign wives that were sometimes criticized or viewed as conflicting with traditional Israelite practices. Additionally, it might contradict other scriptures regarding Solomon's religious commitments and the influence of foreign wives on his faithfulness to God.
