In reading Chronicles we must remember that we are covering basically the same thing we have studied in the Books of [[Samuel]] and Kings. Like the four Gospels of the [[New Testament]] , each book approaches [[Israel]]'s history in a different way.
Chapter 9 gives us the original of [[Israel]]'s and [[Judah]] 's genealogies. In chapter 10 we observe Saul's overthrow and his [[death]]. The first 12 verses can be paralleled with I [[Samuel]] 31. The writer of Chronicles uses the downfall of [[Saul]] and his sons as a spring board to introduce the [[Lord]]'s true king, [[David]]. Verses 13 and 14 of chapter 10 give us the reason for Saul's failure--his disobedience and unfaithfulness.
Chapter 11 gives us [[David]]'s ascension as king. In verses 1- 9, as well as in II [[Samuel]] 5:1-3, we see [[David]] anointed king of Hebron. The list of all his warriors is given in verses 10-47, and can also be certified in II [[Samuel]] 23:8-39. We may note the additional names listed here in Chronicles, over and beyond the ones given in II [[Samuel]].
