Structure

1 Chronicles 11 and 12 combine a 'variety of chronologically and geographically disparate lists' to establish the unity of "all Israel" (north and south), with their unanimous recognition of David's kingship. The outer framework consists of David's anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1–3; 12:38–40) to enclose the lists of the warriors who attended the festivities (11:10–47; 12:23–38). The inner framework comprises the lists of David's forces while at Ziklag (12:1–7; 12:19–22) to enclose the warriors who joined him at “the stronghold” (12:8–18).[1]

Шаблон:Anchor The mighty men join David (12:1–22)

The first set of lists of the chapter contains the warriors joining David before he became king. It divides into four sections: the Benjaminites who came to David in Ziklag (verses 1–8); the Gadites who came to David's mountain stronghold (verses 9–16), as well as the people of Benjamin and Judah (verses 17–19); the people of Manasseh came to David in Ziklag (verses 20–22). Although only four tribes were mentioned, the structure clearly points to the conclusion in verse 22, that David got much support.Шаблон:Sfn The account of Manassites summarizes some incidents in 1 Samuel 28–30.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:AnchorVerses 1–2

Шаблон:SupNow these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war. Шаблон:SupThey were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.[2]

This passage suggests that some people of Benjamin defected to David while Saul was still reigning (cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn

Verses 3-4

3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu the Anathothite,
4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty. Then Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite,[4]

Verse 18

Then the Spirit clothed Amasai, chief of the thirty, and he said,
“We are yours, O David,
and with you, O son of Jesse!
Peace, peace to you,
and peace to your helpers!
For your God helps you.”
Then David received them and made them officers of his troops.[5]

Amasai's prophetic words, with "peace" (Шаблон:Lang-he, Шаблон:Strong-number[6]) mentioned three times, speak of David's closeness with his supporters at the beginning of his rise to power. This relationship would be dissolved when the kingdom was divided in the time of Rehoboam's reign (Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 19

And some from Manasseh defected to David when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away by agreement, saying, "He may defect to his master Saul and endanger our heads."[8]

The battle between Saul and the Philistines was mentioned in chapter 10 and the case of David not involved in that battle was summarized from Шаблон:Bibleverse.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Anchor David's army at Hebron (12:23–40)

The subsequent list is bracketed by brief accounts of David's coronation in Hebron (verses 23, 38–40); structured as a kind of military census. David was accepted as king by all people with all their hearts (verse 38), followed by great feasts of joy, unique to the Chronicles (cf. e.g. Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn The three-day celebration involves many foodstuffs brought by donkeys, mules, camels and oxen from three northern tribes: Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali, such as bread, fig-cakes, raisins and wine.Шаблон:Sfn The mood is described in the word "joy" (or "rejoicing"; verse 40) which later appears in Hezekiah's Passover festival (Шаблон:Bibleverse, Шаблон:Bibleverse) and post-exilic worship festivals (Шаблон:Bibleverse, 17; Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 23

And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord.[9]

Saul's kingdom was passed on peacefully to David in Hebron (cf. 1 Chronicles 10:14–11:3).Шаблон:Sfn
