Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
While Psalms 68:12 speaks to the victory and spoils from war, Matthew 5:39 advocates for non-retaliation and turning the other cheek, promoting peace over conflict.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Contradiction with Luke 6:27
Psalms 68:12 reflects the triumph after battle, whereas Luke 6:27 teaches to love enemies and do good to those who hate you, emphasizing love over victory through conflict.
Luke 6:27: But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Contradiction with Romans 12:17
Psalms 68:12 suggests a battle won and spoils taken, but Romans 12:17 advises not to repay evil for evil, favoring righteousness over vengeance or conquest.
Romans 12:17: Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Contradiction with Isaiah 2:4
Where Psalms 68:12 depicts division of spoil from war, Isaiah 2:4 envisions a time when nations will abandon war altogether and not learn war anymore, highlighting peace advanced over war.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]
Paradox #1
