LINK: 1 Chronicles 12
Parallel passage - 2 Samuel 1-5
BACKGROUND
The first part of this chapter lists men who helped David in war before he was king over all of Israel. Beginning in verse 23, the author lists the names of leaders and numbers of warriors from the various tribes who helped establish David as king following the death of Saul. They had to keep Saul's family from claiming the throne. The struggle for the throne is described in 2 Samuel 1-5. The author of Chronicles is presenting his condensed version, focusing more on the people involved than the historical events of the time.
