1 Chron 19:1–20:3 From 2 Sam. 10:1–19; 11:1; 12:26; 30–31. The main difference between these sources and the Chronicler’s account is that he said nothing about David’s sin with Bathsheba. This was not done to hide David’s sin, since it was well known, but probably to focus on his military victories. The battles in 1 Chron. 19:1–15 seem to have preceded the decisive military effort in 18:5–8. David receives the crown of Ammon for his own house (20:2). Since David’s line will produce One who will rule the Gentiles, it seems fitting that David himself is the first to do so.
1 Chron 19:2 On Hanun the son of Nahash, see note on 2 Sam. 10:1–5.
1 Chron 19:6–7 On Zobah and Maacah, see note on 2 Sam. 10:6–8.
1 Chron 19:18 For the number 7,000 here, 2 Sam. 10:18 has “700.” The difference is probably due to a scribal error.
