Contradiction with Matthew 7:12
This verse promotes acting towards others as you would want them to act towards you, contradicting the humiliating treatment of David's servants.
Matthew 7:12: Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Contradiction with Galatians 6:7
This verse emphasizes that whatever one sows, that will he also reap, implying a negative consequence for Hanun's actions, which contrasts with his disregard.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Contradiction with Proverbs 20:3
This verse suggests that it is honorable for a man to avoid strife, which contradicts Hanun’s provocation of conflict through his actions against David’s men.
Proverbs 20:3: [It is] an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse could stem from the act of shaming and humiliating others as a response to perceived threats or insults. This can conflict with teachings about treating others with kindness and respect, as well as the encouragement to forgive rather than seek revenge.
