I Chronicles 20:1-3 Dressed to Impress
I found it interesting how the author of I Chronicles paints an extremely impressive linage of David to Solomon minus all the baby momma drama beginning with I Chronicles 20:1-3. What takes approximately ten chapters to express in 2 Samuel 11-20 (the Bathsheba event and the domino effect that follows) is summarized with a nice bow for easy consumption and authorial intent. It reminds me of a code of conduct I learned from my mom growing up: “Son if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” In my mind, I Chronicles 20:1-3 is truly dressed to impress.
