Psalm 16:1-11; 2 Samuel 5:6-10; 1 Chronicles 11:4-9; 2 Samuel 5:17-21; 1 Chronicles 14:8-12; 2 Samuel 23:13-17; 1 Chronicles 11:15-19; 2 Samuel 5:22-25; 1 Chronicles 14:13-17; 2 Samuel 5:11-12; 1 Chronicles 13:1-14; 2 Samuel 6:1-11; Psalm 101:1-8

I notice almost word for word duplication of texts between 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles. Some stories are worth repeating. The repeated stories here have to do with David's early exploits as king, especially the battles he and his men fought against Philistines. 

The trappings of power come to David:

  1. David conquers and occupies Jerusalem.
  2. Fortifications and a palace are built at Jerusalem
  3. The ark of God is brought under David's sphere of influence
David did all of these things, because the Lord Almighty "was with him." (1 Chronicles 11:9, for example)
