1 Chronicles 19 - Introduction

1 Chronicles 19:1-19 (2 Samuel 10:1-19). War with the Ammonites and their Aramaean Allies

Chron. here omits the story of David's kindness in seeking out and befriending Mephibosheth (Meribbaal) the son of Jonathan (2 Samuel 9); the Court History of David which occupies an important place in 2 Sam. is passed over altogether in Chron.

There are several variations in text between 2 Samuel 10. and 1 Chronicles 19 e.g. 1 Chronicles 19:6-7 (addition in Chron.), 16 (omission from Chron.), 18 (variation in reckoning).
