Contradiction with 2 Kings 14:28
This verse describes a period when Israel restored its borders under Jeroboam II, which contradicts Isaiah 17:3's prophecy of destruction and loss of fortifications.
2 Kings 14:28: Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, [which belonged] to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Contradiction with Amos 1:3-5
These verses prophesy destruction specifically targeting Damascus, but Isaiah 17:3 indicates that the kingdom of Syria, including Damascus, will be taken away, implying a broader effect.
Amos 1:3-5: Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron: [and...: or, yea, for four] [turn...: or, convert it, or, let it be quiet]
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 28:5
In this verse, the Syrians defeat Judah, contrary to Isaiah 17:3, which foretells Syria's destruction.
2 Chronicles 28:5: Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought [them] to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter. [Damascus: Heb. Darmesek]
Contradiction with Isaiah 7:16
This verse prophesies the downfall of the kings of Syria and Ephraim before the child knows to refuse evil and choose good, yet Isaiah 17:3 suggests a more permanent state of collapse.
Isaiah 7:16: For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 16:55
This verse prophesies the eventual restoration of Sodom and Samaria, contrasting with the permanent devastation implied in Isaiah 17:3 for Ephraim and Damascus.
Ezekiel 16:55: When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:4
This verse speaks of Israel being built up again and being joyful, which contrasts the loss and destruction predicted in Isaiah 17:3.
Jeremiah 31:4: Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. [tabrets: or, timbrels]
