Comparison. — A. The foregoing table shows at once, that while parts of Ch have no parallel in the earlier books, there are still larger portions of those books unrepresented in Ch. The following are such portions of Samuel and Kings : — 1 S 1-30, 2 S 1-4. 9. IP-" 12'-" 13-2U. 21'-" 22. 2.3'-', 1 K l»-»^ 2i-». a-* 3i-». i«-28 41-M 13. 141-20 152J-84 ig_oi, 2 K 1-7.
g'-" 9. (chiefly), 10. 13. 15»-" 17. 25^-«- -■'-*'. They include (1) the entire activity of Samuel, and the reign of Saul (except the close) ; (2) David's lament for Saul and Jonathan, his conflict with Ishbosheth, and dealings with Mephibosheth ; (3) the story of Uriah and Bathsheba ; (4) the story of Amnon and Tamar, and Absalom's flight and recall ; (5) Absalom's rebellion and David's exile ; (6) the Psalm of 2 S 22 = Ps 18; (7) the ' Last Words of David ' 23'-' ; (8) the intrigues and struggles attending Solomon's accession ; (9) evidences of Solomon^ wisdom and poetic gifts ; (10) Solomon's alliances with foreign women, and liis idolatries in later life ; (11) his vexation by adversaries, includ- ing Jeroboam ; (12) the entire history of the Northern Kingdom, after tlie division, except when the account of the Southern Kingdom makes necessary some mention of the Northern ; (13) the governorship and murder of Gedaliah, after Jeru- salem's fall ; (14) the exile-life of Jehoiachin.
B. Ch condenses also, in several places, and as a result gives statements with less precision than the earlier books. These passages are clironological (as in tlie genealogies 1 Ch 1), arcliitec^tural (as in the case of the temple-building 2 Ch 2-4 ; the building of Solomon's palace is not described at all), i)olltical (as Sennacherib's invasion 2 Ch 32'-'"; the reigns of the last kings 2 Ch 36*-"), or humili- ating (iMichal's contempt 1 Ch IS'-*; sickne-ss of Hezekiah 2 Ch 3-2" ; fall of Jerusalem 2 Ch 36"-=' ; the same (lualily may partly account for the cases mentioned under the previous liead). That Ch expands some political and military narratives is also true, and will be noticed below. Other narra- tives are modified in various ways, e.g. the sacrifice by Solomon at Cibeon (2 Ch l'""), the overthrow of Athnliali (2 Ch 23), and thereignsof .lelioram(2Ch 21i>-*), Ahaziah (2 Ch 22'-''), Joash (2 Ch 24), Ahuz (2 Ch 28), and Mana-sseli (2 Ch 33'-"") ; some of these will be noticed below under l>.
