Contradiction with Isaiah 37:36
Isaiah 22:3 mentions rulers fleeing, while Isaiah 37:36 describes the defeat of the enemy without needing the rulers to flee.
Isaiah 37:36: Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
Contradiction with 2 Kings 19:35
Similar to Isaiah 37:36, 2 Kings 19:35 describes a miraculous defeat of an army, highlighting divine intervention rather than the capture and fleeing of leaders.
2 Kings 19:35: And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 4:29
This verse suggests people fled out of fear for their lives rather than being captured, which contrasts with the capture and fleeing described in Isaiah 22:3.
Jeremiah 4:29: The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city [shall be] forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 7:27
Mentions leaders who are in despair but doesn’t describe them fleeing or being captured in the same context as Isaiah 22:3.
Ezekiel 7:27: The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD. [according...: Heb. with their judgments]
Contradiction with Nahum 2:8
Describes people fleeing in a disorganized way out of panic, but not necessarily rulers being captured like in Isaiah 22:3.
Nahum 2:8: But Nineveh [is] of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, [shall they cry]; but none shall look back. [of old: or, from the days that she hath been] [look back: or, cause them to turn]
