And David went on, and grew great = "So David waxed greater and greater" in Chron. The E. V. obliterates the identity of the Hebrew. See Introd. p. 22, note[99]

[99] This verbal coincidence is frequently obscured in the E.V. by different renderings of the same original. This may be partly due to the fact that the books of Samuel and Chronicles fell to the lot of different companies of translators (see Dr Westcott's History of the English Bible, p. 147 ff.); but unfortunately the false principle of introducing variety by different renderings of the same words was deliberately adopted by the translators of 1611.
