Contradiction with 2 Kings 17:6
2 Kings 17:6 states that the Israelites were exiled in the ninth year of Hoshea, whereas 2 Kings 18:11 implies it happened during Hezekiah's rule.
2 Kings 17:6: In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
Contradiction with 2 Kings 18:1
2 Kings 18:1 mentions Hezekiah's reign starting in Ahaz's third year, potentially conflicting with the exile timing of Israel.
2 Kings 18:1: Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, [that] Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. [Hezekiah: he is called Ezekias]
Contradiction with 2 Kings 17:24
2 Kings 17:24 discusses the resettlement in Samaria by the Assyrians, which might suggest different timing or conditions than in 2 Kings 18:11.
2 Kings 17:24: And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed [them] in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
Contradiction with 2 Kings 18:9
2 Kings 18:9 outlines a three-year siege leading to the exile, potentially contradicting other durations or details provided in 2 Kings 18:11.
2 Kings 18:9: And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which [was] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, [that] Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this context might stem from the idea of collective punishment. Punishing an entire group of people for the actions of some can raise questions about justice and fairness, as it doesn't align with the modern view that individuals should be accountable for their own actions. This can be seen as inconsistent with the idea of individual responsibility.
