In Chronicles, David is King

1 Chronicles
If you will recall my post from May 10, you will see that I talked about the focus of 1 Chronicles, noting that the author was keenly interested in King David, more so than the other kings of Israel/Judah.  We have now come to the end of 1 Chronicles, and the main point of this book has certainly been David.  The book started with many lists of names, leading up to an extremely brief narrative of Saul's reign, and then headlong into David's tenure as king.  Moreover, we didn't really hear about any of the negative aspects of David's time as king, such as the fights between him and Saul before he became king, or his murder of Uriah, husband of Bathsheba.  It was mainly a rosy picture of how God blessed David and prospered him on the throne.  It remains to be seen how things turn out in 2 Chronicles, now that David has passed on.
