Intertextuality Pair

1 Chronicles 29:27 → 1 Kings 2:10

Allusion

Later text

1 Chronicles 29:27BSB

The length of David's reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

Earlier text

1 Kings 2:10BSB

Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.

Significance

Both passages record David's death and the length of his reign. In 1 Kings 2:10, the notice is terse: "Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David." The Chronicler in 1 Chronicles 29:27 provides the same information — "The length of David's reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem" — but embeds it within a much grander context of David's final prayer of praise and the assembly's worship. The Chronicler frames David's death not as the end of political power but as the culmination of a life oriented toward the temple David prepared but could not build.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — the regnal summary (forty years, Hebron and Jerusalem) is carried from Kings into the Chronicler's close, where David's death is embedded in the assembly's worship and the temple preparations; the record is advanced from a burial notice to the sealed first chapter of the dynasty on which the rest of redemptive history in Chronicles is built.
