Intertextuality Pair

1 Chronicles 16:43 → 2 Samuel 6:19

Quotation

Later text

1 Chronicles 16:43BSB

Then all the people departed for their homes, and David returned home to bless his household.

Earlier text

2 Samuel 6:19BSB

Then he distributed to every man and woman among the multitude of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. And all the people departed, each for his own home.

Significance

Both texts describe the conclusion of the ark celebration: after distributing food to the people, David blessed them and they departed "each for his own home" (אִישׁ לְבֵיתוֹ, ish leveito), and David returned home to bless his household. 2 Samuel 6:19-20 transitions immediately into Michal's contemptuous confrontation with David, while 1 Chronicles 16:43 simply notes David's return home to bless his family and then moves directly into the Davidic covenant oracle (1 Chr 17). The Chronicler's omission of the Michal scene removes the domestic conflict and its consequence of barrenness, presenting the ark's installation as an unqualified success that flows directly into God's covenant promise. The identical departure formula in both texts marks the formal conclusion of the national celebration.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — the identical Hebrew dismissal formula closes both accounts, but the Chronicler omits the Michal confrontation so that the ark's installation flows directly into the covenant oracle of 1 Chr 17; Samuel's ending is carried forward into Chronicles' worship-centered history, where the celebration issues in promise rather than domestic rupture.
