Contradiction with Jeremiah 27:16
This verse contradicts 2 Kings 24:13 by stating the vessels of the Lord's house will not be brought to Babylon, whereas 2 Kings 24:13 describes their removal to Babylon.
Jeremiah 27:16: Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
Paradox #1
The conflict lies in the description of what was taken from the temple. In 2 Kings 24:13, it says that the treasures from the Lord's temple were taken. However, another biblical account in 2 Chronicles 36:7 suggests that some temple items were taken earlier by a different king. These varying accounts can create confusion about the timing and specifics of what was taken and by whom.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in this verse could be about the destruction and looting of religious places. While the Bible often emphasizes the sacredness of holy sites, this verse involves taking treasures from the temple, which may seem conflicting with the idea of respecting sacred spaces.
Paradox #3
The contradiction in 2 Kings 24:13 might involve discrepancies with accounts in other parts of the Bible regarding the amounts of treasures or items taken from the temple. Sometimes, different books may list varying amounts or details about these treasures, leading to confusion or perceived inconsistencies.
