II. HISTORY OF DAVID'S REIGN (1 Chronicles 10-29)This chapter begins the record of the reign of David over all Israel, prefacing it with a brief account of Saul's death. (1000-960 B.C.)The balance of 1Chronicles is devoted to a review of the history of David, which falls into two parts. "1 Chronicles 10-20 have an account of his reign; and 1 Chronicles 21-29 give preparations for the building of the Temple and the orders and arrangements of those who would serve in it."[1]"Now the Philistines... read more

1 Chronicles 10:14. And enquired not of the Lord— This seems to contradict what is said 1 Samuel 28:6.
