Axes cannot receive more then one enchantment when using enchantment books or other enchanted axes, however it appears to work with regular tool enchantments such as efficiency.

Sharpness, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods are all mutually exclusive, regardless of the tool or enchanting method.
From the Minecraft Wiki:
"A sword with Sharpness cannot receive Smite or Bane of Arthropods."
@aidan pallian
this is only talked about axes, they spoke of swordts because he was attaching sword enchantment to an axe
maybe its a WAI though, it'd be unfair to have both a shaprness and critical damage towards a species
it doesn't matter now, there were 2 solutions, WAI or Invalid, they chose invalid because like said above:
'Works as Intended' falsely implies that axes /can/ only recieve one combat enchantment.
I believe Bane of Arthropods and Smite are sword-only enchantments, and thus can't be applied to an axe.(corrected)
