As @jzila pointed out this didn’t include the potential energy, with that included, the energy comparison becomes more stark.
The Falcon 9 v1.1 weights 557.6 tons and the number floating around for New Shepard is 40 tons. So that would give 496 gigajoules of potential energy for the Falcon 9 and 36 gigajoules of energy for New Shepard.
For a total of energy of 616 gigajoules for the Falcon 9 and 36 gigajoules for the New Shepard.
