It is divided into 47 verses. Textual witnesses Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008).Würthwein 1995 35-37 There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: S; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century).Würthwein 1995 73–74 Old Testament references 1 Chronicles 11:1–3 9: 2 Samuel 5:1–5 9.Endres 2012 29 1 Chronicles 11:4–9 9: 2 Samuel 5:6–10 9.Endres 2012 30 1 Chronicles 11:10–47 9: 2 Samuel 23:8–39 9.Endres 2012 30 Structure 1 Chronicles 11 and 12 combine a 'variety of chronologically and geographically disparate lists' to establish the unity of "all Israel" (north and south), with their unanimous recognition of David's kingship. The outer framework consists of David's anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1–3; 12:38–40) to enclose the lists of the warriors who attended the festivities (11:10–47; 12:23–38). The inner framework comprises the lists of David's forces while at Ziklag (12:1–7; 12:19–22) to enclose the warriors who joined him at “the stronghold” (12:8–18).Williamson, H. G. M.

David, king of Israel (11:1–3) The report concerning David's crowning in Hebron can be found in the books of Samuel, but the Chronicler also add some notes.Endres 2012 29Mathys 2007 274 Verse 1 Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and flesh."1 Chronicles 11:1 ESV ESV "All Israel": a more 'inclusive view' as a nation than "the tribes of Israel" in 2 Samuel 5:1 9.Endres 2012 29 Verse 2 "Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the Lord your God said to you, ‘You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel.’"1 Chronicles 11:2 NKJV NKJV This is the only place in the Chronicles that Saul was stated as king.Endres 2012 29 Verse 3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.1 Chronicles 11:3 ESV ESV "According to the word of the Lord by Samuel": may refer to 2 Samuel 7:7–8 9 (cf. 1 Chronicles 17:6–7 9) as well as recall 1 Samuel 15:28 9 and 1 Samuel 16:1–13 9.Endres 2012 29 David conquers Jerusalem (11:4–9) The section is a rework of the report in 2 Samuel 5:6-10 9, with the removal of obscure and unclear terms and insertion of unique details, such as the role of Joab in Jerusalem's capture.Mathys 2007 274 Verse 6 Now David said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and became chief. 1 Chronicles 11:6 NKJV NKJV "Chief": literally "head".Note on 1 Chronicles 11:6 in NKJV This verse contains a play on words: whoever attack "first" (Hebrew: he רִאשׁוֹן, rishon H 7223) will be "chief" (Hebrew: he רֹאשׁ, rosh H 7218), Joab went up "first" and became "chief", although he was not listed among David's mighty men (1 Chronicles 11:10 9–(1 Chronicles 12:40 9).Endres 2012 30 David's mighty men (11:10–47) David's Mighty Warriors Verses 10–41 conform with 2 Samuel 23:8–39 (with some spelling differences), whereas verses 42–47 are unique to the Chronicles.Mathys 2007 274Endres 2012 31 Without clear historical context, it is unclear whether the list refers to the period before or after David's accession to the throne. This passage consists of three parts (similar to the list in 2 Samuel):Mathys 2007 274 The three men (whom nobody could match), each with one act of heroism. The Chronicler omits the name of the third hero and states acts of heroism differently Two other heroes, with their particular acts of heroism. The 'thirty' heroes.Mathys 2007 274 The purpose of the list is to portray David as a 'divinely chosen leader' with strong support from various groups in northern and southern Israel.Endres 2012 31 Verse 10 Now these are the chiefs of David's mighty men, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.1 Chronicles 11:10 ESV ESV Here and in 1 Chronicles 12:23 9 the Chronicler underlines that David's kingdom encompasses all Israel as a fulfillment of YHWH's pledge to Israel, although this promise is not directly cited,Mathys 2007 274Endres 2012 31 See also 22em Bethlehem Hebron Jerusalem Uriah the Hittite Related Bible parts: 1 Samuel 16, 2 Samuel 5, 2 Samuel 12, 2 Samuel 23, 1 Chronicles 12 References Sources Ackroyd Peter R Chronicles, Books of Metzger Bruce M Bruce M.
