    It seems the amount in Chronicles of David ascending to the throne paints a simpler picture than the version in Kings. This version have no indication of division at the beginning.

    For the first time I realized a reason why knowing your genealogy would have been very useful in the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Knowing your lineage and the various lines from your formatters could help you know your relationships to the various influential people you meet in your travels as in that day…

    Christ gave His life so that a righteous judgement could be given to men. Without His gift either men would be universally rejected from eternal life or they would be unfairly rewarded. Because of His intercession we can righteously be accepted into heaven.

    Saul should have been an example of a priesthood man but he abandoned his humility at the first sign of status and success.

    1 Chronicles 24 I wonder why David was the one to divide the sons of Aaron and Levi for their priesthood service.

    1 Chronicles 22 – 23 Although David was not allowed to build the temple he gathered materials and workmen to do so and told Solomon to undertake the project (he also told Solomon to do a few other things such as punishing people David had promised to protect).

    1 Chronicles 20 – 21 I am beginning to see that David had many other significant sins to his credit than just his adultery with Bathsheba and murder of Uriah. (I realize also that Bathsheba’s proximity to the palace was likely due to Uriah’s prominence in the army. Even if David did not know whose…
