DID YOU KNOW?
The answer
Disagree. 1 Chronicles keeps the opening sentence of 2 Samuel 11, "the time when kings go out to battle," down to "But David remained at Jerusalem" (1 Chronicles 20:1), and then goes straight to Joab taking Rabbah. Nothing of the roof, Bathsheba, Uriah's letter or Nathan's lamb follows. Uriah appears once in the book, in a list of David's warriors (11:41).
Why it’s interesting
Chronicles leaves out almost all of 2 Samuel 9 to 20 and 1 Kings 1 to 2: Tamar, Absalom’s revolt, the fight over who follows David. What it adds instead is the temple, with David’s plan for it and his singers. It keeps one story that makes David look bad, the census, because it ends with David buying the temple’s site.
