1 Chronicles 11:1

1 Chronicles 11:1-3 (2 Samuel 5:1-3). David made King over all Israel

1. Then Render, And. Chron. has nothing here corresponding to 2 Samuel 1-4, Chapter s which cover a period of seven years (2 Samuel 5:5). David's earlier coronation by the men of Judah (2 Samuel 2:4), the reign of Ish-bosheth over Northern and Eastern Israel (ib.2 Samuel 2:8 ff.), and the "long war" (ib.2 Samuel 3:1) with the house of Saul are omitted. Some reference to the civil war however occurs in 1 Chronicles 12:23; 1 Chronicles 12:29.

weare thy bone and thy flesh The phrase is not to be taken strictly as implying kinship, for only the tribe of Judah could say "The king is near of kin to us" (2 Samuel 19:42). The other tribes mean that they will obey David as though he were their own kin.
