Contradiction with Proverbs 16:7

This verse says, "When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." Yet, in 2 Samuel 13:26, we see a scenario of deception and conflict leading to turmoil.

Proverbs 16:7: When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Contradiction with James 1:5

This verse encourages seeking wisdom from God, who gives generously. In 2 Samuel 13:26, the lack of wisdom and direct communication results in tragic consequences.

James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Contradiction with Matthew 5:9

This verse states, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Contrarily, 2 Samuel 13:26 involves plotting that leads to revenge and violence rather than peace.

Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Contradiction with Exodus 20:13

This verse is the commandment "Thou shalt not kill." The ongoing events in 2 Samuel 13:26 eventually lead to murder, contrasting with this commandment.

Exodus 20:13: Thou shalt not kill.

Contradiction with Romans 12:18
