Contradiction with 2 Kings 25:1
This verse describes the same event as Jeremiah 52:4, but there are slight differences in the description, such as the exact timing and details of Nebuchadnezzar's siege, which can lead to interpretations considered contradictory.
2 Kings 25:1: And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 52:4 describes the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. A potential contradiction or inconsistency lies in the differences between this account and the similar accounts found in 2 Kings 25:1 and some Babylonian historical records. These sources may vary in details such as the specific timing of events or the sequence of actions taken during the siege. However, such differences are often seen as minor and typical of historical records from ancient times.
