Check out Contradictions Catalog of 2 Chronicles 9:28 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts 2 Chronicles 9:28. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of the Chronicles, Solomon was a very important king, and people from many places, including Egypt, brought him lots of horses. This shows how wealthy and powerful he was, because everyone wanted to send him gifts.

2 Chronicles 9:28: And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 17:16

This verse advises against multiplying horses, whereas 2 Chronicles 9:28 highlights Solomon importing horses from Egypt and other countries.

Deuteronomy 17:16: But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.

Contradiction with Isaiah 31:1

This verse warns against relying on Egypt for help, including acquiring horses, which contrasts with Solomon's actions in 2 Chronicles 9:28.

Isaiah 31:1: Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

Paradox #1

The verse mentions horses being brought from specific regions, which some historical and archaeological evidence suggest might not have been major horse-trading centers during the time period described. This could create a potential inconsistency between the biblical text and historical records.
