1 Chronicles 14 - Introduction

(2 Samuel 5:11-25). David at Jerusalem. Two Philistine Attacks repulsed

The Chronicler derives this ch. from Samuel but gives it in a setting of his own. To agree with Samuel it should immediately follow 1 Chronicles 11:9 and should immediately precede 1 Chronicles 13:1. In Samuel the two attempts to remove the ark to the city of David, the first unsuccessful, the second successful, are related in immediate succession; the Chronicler interposes between them the double repulse of the Philistines.
