How to read this page

An Intertextuality Pair — one connection between two passages, shown as linked verse cards: the Later text and the Earlier text it quotes, alludes to or echoes. The Significance essay explains why the link matters and where it points in Christ.

Reference Type— how explicit the link is: Quotation, Allusion, or Echo
Connection Method(s)— how it carries meaning: e.g. Typology, Promise-Fulfillment, Analogy, Longitudinal Theme
Found via— where the connection was identified, e.g. the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge or an Anchor-Text Network

Intertextuality Pair

1 Chronicles 11:4 → 2 Samuel 5:6

Quotation

Later text

1 Chronicles 11:4BSB

Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.

Earlier text

2 Samuel 5:6BSB

Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: "You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you." For they thought, "David cannot get in here."

Significance

Both texts record David's march against the Jebusites to capture Jerusalem, called יְבוּס (Yevus) in both accounts. 2 Samuel 5:6 preserves the Jebusites' taunt, "Even the blind and lame can repel you," while 1 Chronicles 11:4 identifies the site simply as "Jerusalem (that is, Jebus)." The Chronicler omits the taunt about the blind and lame but adds the detail that "Joab son of Zeruiah went up first" and was therefore made commander — information absent from Samuel. This editorial choice shifts focus from the Jebusites' defiance to the military achievement of David's men, consistent with the Chronicler's interest in establishing the meritorious basis for administrative appointments.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — the same capture of Jebus retold at a later redemptive-historical vantage: the Chronicler drops the Jebusite taunt and adds Joab's promotion (1 Chr 11:6), re-presenting Samuel's Jerusalem narrative as the founding of the city God had chosen — the account carried forward toward its temple-centered destiny.
