Contradiction with Jeremiah 39:5
This verse states that the army of the Chaldeans overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, whereas Jeremiah 52:8 specifies that the army of the Chaldeans overtook the king in the plains of Jericho with no mention of Zedekiah being caught.
Jeremiah 39:5: But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him. [gave...: Heb. spake with him judgments]
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 52:8 might have a historical inconsistency when compared to 2 Kings 25:5-6, as both passages discuss the capture of King Zedekiah. Differences in names, locations, or the sequence of events between these verses could lead to confusion about the historical accuracy of the narrative.
