Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5
Judges 13:8 shows Manoah seeking guidance from God, while Proverbs 3:5 advises leaning not on one's own understanding, which could be interpreted as not needing to seek further clarification.
Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with James 1:5
Judges 13:8 has Manoah asking for wisdom regarding raising a child, while James 1:5 suggests directly asking God for wisdom instead of through intermediary requests.
James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:8
In Judges 13:8, Manoah asks for God's help even though in Matthew 6:8 it says God knows what we need before we ask, implying such requests might be unnecessary.
Matthew 6:8: Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:7
Manoah's request in Judges 13:8 seeks guidance on the outward actions, while 1 Samuel 16:7 emphasizes that God looks at the heart, suggesting the internal disposition is more crucial than external instructions.
1 Samuel 16:7: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. [outward...: Heb. eyes]
