Contradiction with Jeremiah 40:1-4
These verses contradict Jeremiah 52:24 by offering accounts of how Jeremiah himself was treated, potentially conflicting with the fate of those mentioned in Jeremiah 52:24.

Paradox #1
Jeremiah 52:24 might conflict with another part of the Bible, specifically 2 Kings 25:18, in terms of the names and titles of the individuals described in the event. The lists of temple officials taken into captivity have slight variations, leading to questions about consistency in the accounts.
