Contradiction with Proverbs 12:21
Proverbs 12:21 states that "there shall no evil happen to the just," which contradicts 2 Samuel 18:32 because Absalom, David's son, whom the king loved, dies despite David's righteousness.
Proverbs 12:21: There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
Contradiction with Proverbs 24:17
Proverbs 24:17 advises not to rejoice at the enemy's downfall, contradicting the response to Absalom's death, as some saw it as a victory.
Proverbs 24:17: Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
Ezekiel 18:20 states "the soul that sinneth, it shall die," which aligns with 2 Samuel 18:32 in Absalom's case, but contradicts the notion that suffering and death come only to the sinful, which isn't a straightforward case in Absalom's narrative.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:9
Matthew 5:9 states, "Blessed are the peacemakers," contradicting the war and strife leading to Absalom's death as depicted in 2 Samuel 18:32.
Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
Romans 12:19 advises against personal vengeance, leaving it to God, which contradicts the actions surrounding Absalom's death in 2 Samuel 18:32 as a result of war and retaliation.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
