1 Chronicles 29:26-30
Summary for 1Chr 29:26-30: 29:26-30 a The Chronicler concludes his account of David’s reign with a stylized summary, similar in form to those used for all the kings of Israel and Judah (e.g., 1 Kgs 22:41-50 b). Like Abraham (Gen 25:8 c) and Isaac (Gen 35:29 d), David ... died at a ripe old age with wealth and honor.29:29 e The sources used for the chronicles of David’s reign are associated with three prophets, named in the order in which they appear in Chronicles: Samuel (11:3 f), Nathan (17:1-27 g), and Gad (21:9 h). The Chronicler had access to various sources in addition to the books of Samuel and Kings (see study note on 9:1; see also 1 Kgs 11:41-43 i; 14:19-20 j, 29-31 k).
29:30 l The concluding verse extols David by making him the center of the events of his time.
