Contradiction with 2 Samuel 5:5
Contradicts by stating that David reigned over Israel and Judah from Jerusalem for the fullness of his reign rather than briefly leaving, as implied by the return in 2 Samuel 19:15.
2 Samuel 5:5: In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:13
This verse describes David's anointing as king, which seems inconsistent with him having to return to reclaim kingship, as indicated in 2 Samuel 19:15.
1 Samuel 16:13: Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Contradiction with 2 Samuel 5:3
Indicates that David was made king over all of Israel, which could seem contradictory considering later division and return to power in 2 Samuel 19:15.
2 Samuel 5:3: So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 2:12
States Solomon sat upon the throne after David, which seems inconsistent with the continual issues of rulership implied by David's return in 2 Samuel 19:15.
1 Kings 2:12: Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
