Wednesday Bible Study: Hit song
As far as I can tell, Chapter 16 has no real basis in Samuel. I doubt that it ' s actually original, but the source material has been lost. This shows the Chronicler ' s usual obsession with lists of meaningless names, but the main act is a song. Now seems as good a time as any to mention that the Book of Psalms is traditionally attributed to David, but that ' s nonsensical. It was compiled centuries after his death, if he ever existed. Presumably this song reflects theology at the time Chronicles was written, probably in the 4th Century BCE, in the Second Temple period. I ' ll just make a couple of points...

Sunday Sermonette: Now for something completely different
While the previous chapter was basically lifted from Samuel, this one is not. 2 Samuel 6 tells of David bringing the Ark to Jerusalem, but the accompanying details in Chronicles are not in Samuel at all. We see the Chronicler ' s obsessive interest in lists of names here, but also an interest in orthodoxy. The idea that only the Levites can carry the Ark is not in Samuel, but it ' s a major emphasis here. Samuel also lacks all of the details about the musicians and the music. On the other hand this version very much downplays Micah ' s displeasure at seeing David dance. It ' s briefly mentioned at the end but not expl...

Wednesday Bible Study: A twice-told tale
Ch. 14 is largely lifted from 2 Samuel 5, although it skips a lot. Basically it skips ahead to verse 13 of 2 Samuel 5, leaving out the fact that David already had a whole lot of wives and concubines. The reason for the Chronicler ' s selective lifting from Samuel isn ' t clear, but in general he seems to be trying to clean up David ' s image. In case you ' ve forgotten, the David of Samuel is one horrible son of a bitch. On the other hand, why the Chronicler felt the need to reprint this in the first place is equally unclear. To make it easy on you, I ' m going to provide the matching passages from Samuel after this....

Sunday Sermonette: Jumping Ahead
As we have seen, the Chronicler has no interest in chronological order. He ' s wandering through time and space. Now he jumps ahead from David ' s years as a guerilla leader to the early years of his kingship, skipping entirely over the theft of the Ark by the Philistines, its recovery (a tale involving golden hemorrhoids, as you may recall), and David ' s ascension to the throne, to David ' s decision to move the Ark to Jerusalem fromKiriath Jearim, where it happened to land after the Philistines sent it back. This chapter is largely derived from 2 Samuel 6, either with some light rewriting, or based on an alternative ver...

Wednesday Bible Study: Unstuck in Time
One norm of story telling that doesn ' t interest the Chronicler is chronological order. First he told us about the return from Babylon, then he abruptly jumped back centuries to the death of Saul, without any warning. Now he jumps back in time again to the period when David was a pretender to the throne and hiding out with a guerilla band. Modern story tellers may certainly use flashbacks but they also have some way of helping us keep track. If you didn ' t already know the story, you would be hopelessly confused by now.While Chapter 12 is not inconsistent with Samuel, unlike previous material it evidently has a different...

Sunday Sermonette: Mashup
Chapter 11 begins with material from 2 Samuel 5, when David becomes king; then basically skips ahead to material from 2 Samuel 23, toward the end of David ' s life, describing David ' s " might men, " after interpolating a couple of tidbits from the material in between. The previous chapter, as we have seen, was essentially a reproduction of 1 Samuel 28, but with a substituted moral. Saul ' s downfall was not because he failed to carry out God ' s command to exterminate the Amelekites, it was because he consulted a necromancer. This makes sense because by the time of the Chronicler, in the Second Temple period, God was no ...

About That Cancer Moonshot
BY KIM BELLARD
Joe Biden hates cancer. He led the Cancer Moonshot in the Obama Administration, and, as President, he reignited it, vowing to cut death rates in half over the next 25 years. Last month, on the 60th anniversary of President Kennedy’s historic call for an actual moonshot, he vowed “to end cancer as we know it. And even cure cancers once and for all.”
But, as several recent studies show, cancer is still surprising us.

Wednesday Bible Study: Jump back Jack
In Ch. 10 the Chronicler, without warning, abruptly jumps back in time to recount events already described in 1 Samuel 13, specifically the death of Saul. This actually appears to be largely plagiarized from Samuel, but the Chronicler mysteriously amends it with an explanation that God had Saul killed because "he was unfaithful to theLord; he did not keep the word of theLord and even consulted a medium for guidance,14 and did not inquire of theLord. So theLord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse. " This is a reference to Saul ' s traveling to Endor to consult a necromancer ( " The Witch ...

Sunday Sermonette: Welcome Back
The chronicler is finallyalmostdone with the genealogies and gets to story telling -- specifically the return from the Babylonia exile. Just as a reminder, according to the Book of Kings -- with corroboration of the rough outlines from other sources, after the siege of Jerusalem by the Assyrian emperor Senacherib failed, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon did conquer Jerusalem. His soldiers massacred the military leadership, destroyed the Temple, and took the literate priesthood and the royal household into exile in Babylon. Kings probably exaggerates the number of exiles -- most of the population remained under the rule of a Vicer...
