Abstract
This chapter focuses on the divisions between books of 2 Samuel/1 Kings and 1 Chronicles and the arrangement of the material they comprise within 2 Samuel /1 Kings 1-3. Chronicles starts its account of the biblical history with David, using as a source the second book of Samuel up to 2 Sam 11:1 (2 Sam 5:1-11:1 // 1 Chron 11:1-20:1). There is an inversion in the order of the chapters between 2 Samuel and Chronicles. The beginning of 2 Samuel seems to be the best example of the editing process in a biblical book. Study of the Old Greek version and of the kaige recension in 2 Samuel, as also of 1 Chronicles, seems to indicate the existence of forms of composition or editing that differ from the present MT, even though their reconstruction in detail is not possible due to the lack of necessary data. Keywords: book of 1 Chronicles; book of 1 Kings; book of 2 Samuel; David; kaige recension
