David Captures Jerusalem Through Surprise Referred to in 2 Samuel David and His Heart for God (1 Chron 11:1–16:43) Structure of 1 & 2 Chronicles The books of Chronicles can be divided in a number of ways but many divide them into five major sections: Section One: the genealogical history of the nation (1 Chron. 1:1–9:34). Section Two: focuses on the Davidic monarchy introduced by a duplication of Saul’s genealogy and then his death narrative before focusing on King David’s reign (1 Chron. 9:35–29:30). Section Three: focuses on the reign of David’s son, Solomon (2 Chron. 1:1–9:31). Section Four: develops the history of the kings of Judah (2 Chron. 10:1– 36:16). Section Five: narrates the final exile, then the return of the remnant and their rebuilding of the temple (2 Chron. 36:18-23) Structure of 1 & 2 Chronicles The books of Chronicles can be divided in a number of ways but this study will divide them into five major sections. Section One: the genealogical history of the nation (1 Chron. 1:1–9:34). Section Two: focuses on the Davidic monarchy introduced by a duplication of Saul’s genealogy and then his death narrative before focusing on King David’s reign (1 Chron. 9:35–29:30). Section Three: focuses on the reign of David’s son, Solomon (2 Chron. 1:1–9:31). Section Four: develops the history of the kings of Judah (2 Chron. 10:1– 36:16). Section Five: narrates the final exile, then the return of the remnant and their rebuilding of the temple (2 Chron. 36:18-23) “Finding Insights from Chronicles for the Believer Today” Chronicles encourages faithful worship and obedience out of a loyal covenant-keeping, heart for the LORD. The Chronicler does this by recounting, almost exclusively, the blessings enjoyed by the Davidic line when faithful in worship and in obedience to the Law of the LORD prior to the deportation. This positive approach, for the post-exilic remnant in Judea, was a theologically-driven “second look” at the history already recorded in Samuel and Kings. David and His Heart for God (1 Chron 11:1–16:43) David’s heart for God is expressed in his desire to bring the Ark of the Covenant, the visual representation of the presence of God, into Jerusalem where he now lives.

Do we arrange our lives around the presence of God? #2 David’s heart for God can be seen in the way he conducts his life “according to the Word of the Lord” Do we submit to God’s Word today? #3 David’s heart for God can be seen in the way, when confronted with disobedience, he learnt from his errors and honored God in obedience and worship. Are we willing to change when our life does not measure up to God’s will/plans? David and His Heart for God (1 Chron 11:1–16:43) David’s heart for God is expressed in his desire to bring the Ark of the Covenant, the visual representation of the presence of God, into Jerusalem where he now lives..

    1 Chronicles 11:1-25 “11 Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron and said, ‘Behold, we are your bone and flesh. 2 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’ 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. 4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, ‘You will not come in here.’ Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David. 6 David said, ‘Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.’ And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. 7 And David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. 8 And he built the city all around from the Millo in complete circuit, and Joab repaired the rest of the city. 9 And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.

    1 CHRONICLES - A TEACHER’S GUIDE THE CENTRAL QUESTION: What does this book/story say to us about God? This question may be broken down further as follows: a. Why did God do it/allow it? b. Why did He record it for our study? 1. Who do you think wrote 1 & 2 Chronicles? (1 Chronicles 29:29; Compare 2 Chronicles 32:32; 33:18-20) Do these books have a significantly different perspective than 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings? Do 1 & 2 Chronicles look like a “biased” report? Why should there be so much repetition? How do you explain the differences? Is there any value in these small differences? What about the Gospels? How did Luke get the information for writing his book? (Luke 1:1-4) Does God “inspire” people to “compile” books to put in Scripture? “The Talmud (Baba Bathra 15a) attributes Chronicles to Ezra.” (New Bible Dictionary) “Originally entitled ‘the words [or events] of the days’ (divre hayyamim, Hebrews), meaning ‘journals’ (1 Chronicles 27:24), and compiled as a single book, 1 and 2 Chronicles were separated by the translators of the Septuagint c. 180 B.C. [Probably because they were too long to fit on one scroll] and named “things omitted” (paraleipomena, Gk.), to indicate that they contain things omitted from the Books of Samuel and Kings. Although the author and date are not stated, the Talmudic tradition that the Chronicles were penned by Ezra may be correct. Nevertheless, it is customary to speak of the author simply as “the chronicler.” Written from a priestly perspective, the main emphasis centers on the temple in Jerusalem, the Levitical priesthood, and the theocratic lineage of David.

As you recall, Saul and his sons are dead. David just won a war against the Amalekites for their raid on Ziklag and have returned home. David doesn’t know what has happened. This is where we start the continuation of our Journey Through the Bible. Who comes to David and what news does he bring (vss. 1-10)? How does the story of the Amalekites agree and differ from the end of 1 Samuel? What was the response of David and his men to the news (vss. 11-12)? Once the mourning was completed, what happened next (vss. 13-16)? Why was it important for David to do this?

    Friday, August 24, 2018 Unfaithful 1 Chronicles 9-10 August 20 - 25, 2018 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance, and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse. 1 Chronicles 10:13-14 God is sovereign over the kings of Israel. The Chronicler makes that clear. Disloyalty will be judged. There is the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. The Chronicler wants his readers to know that as they rebuild, they must look to the example of the king who had received the covenant. The Chronicler brings three counts of disloyalty against Saul: disobedience to the word of God, consulting a medium, and failure to inquire of God. Because of this unfaithfulness, the LORD put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, a man after God’s own heart. God’s sovereignty is made very clear in these verses, as is His holiness. God will not be mocked and those who say they follow Him must reveal it in absolute loyalty—especially those who lead. The postexilic nation will do well to remember these counts, which brought judgment unto Saul, for they are destined to repeat these things themselves if they do not learn the lesson. It is a lesson I do well to remember myself. Where do I go for advice in the direction of my life? I reveal my faithfulness to God as I seek Him alone.

  • 2 Samuel & 1 Chronicles with Associated Psalms
    2 Samuel& 1 Chronicles w/Associated Psalms Chronicles Purpose : To direct the restoration of the kingdom during the post-exilic period. Outline : 1.1:1-1.9:44 – Genealogies of God’s People (From Adam to David to Zerubbabel) 1.10:1-2.9:31 – United Kingdom (Saul, David, Solomon) 2.10:1-2:28:26 – Divided Kingdom (Fall of Samaria and Jerusalem) 2.29:1-2.36:23 – Reunited Kingdom (Cyrus’ Edict) Author : Some suggest there was a single “chronicler” for Chronicles and for Ezra-Nehemiah (perhaps Ezra himself). There are definite similarities, but also distinctions. Date : United Monarchy – 1050…Divided Monarchy – 922…Fall of Samaria – 722…Fall of Jerusalem – 586…Cyrus Edict – 538…Date of Composition, maybe 500-400 BC Chronicles Highlights : The title of this book in the Hebrew Bible is “The Words (or Events) of the Days”. The title of this book in the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament, written in 70 AD) is “The Things Omitted” (things passed over by Samuel and Kings). The English title of “Chronicles” is a shortened form of Jerome’s suggestion in calling it “A Chronicle of the whole divine history.” Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles are the “Synoptic History” meaning that they share the same, or similar, accounts for some of this history. Just as Matthew, Mark, and Luke are the “Synoptic Gospels” in sharing the same, or similar, accounts of Jesus. Synoptic means “seeing (optic) together (syn)” and provides a summary, or synopsis. There are times when the wording is exactly the same as the Chronicler simply copied from Samuel, or Kings.

    WORSHIP NOTES Journey through the Bible DAVID THE KING 1 Chronicles 11:1-9 Then all Israel gathered before David at Hebron and told him, “We are your own flesh and blood. In the past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who really led the forces of Israel. And the LORD your God told you, ‘You will be the shepherd of my people Israel. You will be the leader of my people Israel.’” So, there at Hebron, David made a covenant before the LORD with all the elders of Israel. And they anointed him king of Israel, just as the LORD had promised through Samuel. Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (or Jebus, as it used to be called), where the Jebusites, the original inhabitants of the land, were living. The people of Jebus taunted David, saying, “You’ll never get in here!” But David captured the fortress of Zion, which is now called the City of David. David had said to his troops, “Whoever is first to attack the Jebusites will become the commander of my armies!” And Joab, the son of David’s sister Zeruiah, was first to attack, so he became the commander of David’s armies. David made the fortress his home, and that is why it is called the City of David. He extended the city from the supporting terraces to the surrounding area, while Joab rebuilt the rest of Jerusalem. And David became more and more powerful, because the LORD of Heaven’s Armies was with him. I. WHERE WE LEFT OFF A.

  • 1 Chronicles
    1 Chronicles Summary The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles are a survey of the time period of the united and divided kingdoms in the history of Israel. The book of 1 Chronicles begins with a series of genealogies (chapters 1-9) that lead up to the time in which David was king of a united Jewish people. After this, the narrative focuses on David’s life, major military events, and the priestly aspects of David’s reign. Most of the book of 1 Chronicles focuses on the southern tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, specifically on the priestly duties and customs. When reading the book of 1 Chronicles, the reader must keep in mind that it was written after the exile, in which the Northern Kingdom and tribes were no more. However, because the Southern Kingdom had returned to Jerusalem and the surrounding area, there was a need to compile records for keeping. Throughout the books of 1 and 2 Chronicles, there are themes of following and trusting God or forsaking God. The chronicler shows that the up-and-down history of Israel directly links these two concepts. Author Though the author is unnamed in 1 and 2 Chronicles, it has traditionally been attributed to Ezra, the scribe. Date The most common date given for the writing of 1 and 2 Chronicles is after the return from exile in Babylon. More specifically, scholars date the book in the latter half of the fifth century around 450-400 B.C. Primary Characters Saul (1 Chronicles 8-10) David (1 Chronicles 11-29) Solomon (1 Chronicles 22-29) Historical Moments Genealogies Recounted (1 Chronicles 1-9) Saul’s Death (1 Chronicles 10) The Ark Brought to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15-16) The Covenant with David (1 Chronicles 17) Death of David (1 Chronicles 29) Major Theological Themes The Temple Is the House of the Lord - Throughout the Old Testament, the Spirit of the Lord dwelt in the Ark of the Covenant inside the temple.
