Contradiction with Jeremiah 34:1
This verse suggests that the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah concerning Nebuchadnezzar's siege, indicating a prophetic aspect rather than an immediate historical account as in 2 Kings 25:1.
Jeremiah 34:1: The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying, [of his...: Heb. the dominion of his hand]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 52:4
Provides a similar account to 2 Kings 25:1 but has slight differences in wording, which can lead to questions regarding consistency in biblical narratives.
Jeremiah 52:4: And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 36:17
This verse emphasizes the reason for the destruction, highlighting the anger of God rather than the military actions detailed in 2 Kings 25:1.
2 Chronicles 36:17: Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave [them] all into his hand.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 24:2
Marks the same day with a significant spiritual event, implying a symbolic meaning beyond the historical military siege narrative of 2 Kings 25:1.
Ezekiel 24:2: Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
