Contradiction with Jeremiah 22:30

While Psalms 132:11 promises a continuation of David's lineage on the throne, Jeremiah 22:30 declares that no descendants of Coniah (Jeconiah), who was in David's line, will prosper on the throne of David.

Jeremiah 22:30: Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man [that] shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

Contradiction with Matthew 1:11-12

Psalms 132:11 emphasizes the eternal reign through David's lineage, yet Matthew 1:11-12 mentions Jeconiah, bringing into question his descendants' right to the throne due to Jeremiah's curse.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 21:26-27
