1 Chronicles 14

This chapter has some differences with 2 Samuel 5 its parallel. The Chronicler has David actively bearing (נשא) the kingdom for the people. Here the kingdom is lifted up (נשא) passive for the people. In both cases we can see that the king can miss the point of his responsibility.

The lists of children are not in agreement. This list appears to have a duplicate.

This passage uses God where the passage in 2 Samuel uses Yahweh. The may reflect a later location of the writing or a change in usage to reduce the frequency of the use of the Name.
