Bibliography
Any effort to elucidate the purpose and theology of the Chronicler must take account of the authorâs distinctive handling of David and Solomon; an extensive literature has surveyed the subject. The bibliography here is a selective list, but will lead to the wider literature.

The reigns of David and Solomon as recorded in Chronicles are markedly different when compared with the earlier accounts in Samuel-Kings; though the central events of their lives are found in both records, they are set in different theological frameworks largely motivated by the needs of their respective audiences. The outlines of the Chroniclerâs distinctive treatment of Solomon appear in high relief by examining both (1) his deletion of material from the Sam/Kgs account and (2) his use of models around which to shape his version of Solomon.
1. The Chroniclerâs omissions. The deuteronomic historian had divided the reign of Solomon into two distinct periods, a time of blessing and obedience (1 Kgs 1â10) followed by apostasy and judgment in the form of the schism (1 Kgs 11â12). The concern with centralization of worship, particularly with frequenting the high places in Judah (1 Kgs 3:2â4; 12:31â33; 13:2, 32â33; 14:22â23; 22:43; 2 Kgs 12:3; 14:4; 15:4, 35; 16:4; 17:11, 29â41; 18:4, 22; 21:3; 23:5â20), became the canon also for condemning the actions of Solomon (1 Kgs 11:1â13). The era of blessing ended with attacks from adversaries (11:14â25) and rebellion from within (11:26â40); the schism itself was attributed to judgment for the sins of Solomon (11:1â6, 31â33). Solomonâs corvĂ©e labor and his numerous wives made him the negation of the ideal king (Deut 17:17; 1 Sam 8:11â18; 1 Kgs 11:1â6; 4:6â7, 22â28; 5:13â18; 9:15â23; 12:3â19). For the deuteronomic historian the record of the sins of Solomon, as well as those of David, was one more ingredient in the answer for his exilic audience to the âwhyâ for the destruction of Jerusalem; though David and Solomon were Israelâs glorious kings, they too had their part in the failure to live according to Godâs covenant with his people, a failure that ultimately issued in judgment.
In contrast the Solomon portrayed in Chronicles differs considerably. Any fault or transgression which might tarnish the image of David and Solomon has been removed (that is, with the exception of the account of Davidâs census [1 Chr 21] and perhaps somewhat regarding the first attempt to move the ark [1 Chr 13]). Instead the Chronicler portrays glorious, obedient, all-conquering figures who enjoy not only divine blessing but the total support of the people as well; he presents us not only the David and Solomon of history, but also the David and Solomon of his messianic expectation.
Parenthetically, it should be stated that the nature of the Chroniclerâs eschatological expectation is highly debated. Scholarly opinion is divided between two extremes and a host of mediating positions: on the one hand, many find the authorâs messianic/eschatological expectations central to the book, while others view the Chronicler as espousing the view that the purposes of God were so realized in the restoration community as to leave little if any place for eschatological expectation. For a survey of positions and bibliography, see Braun, âApologetic,â 506-7; a recent summary of the issue is also found in Williamson, âEschatology.â See also Brunet, Caquot, and Stinespring.
With reference to Solomon in particular, the account of the accession is striking. Instead of the bedridden, aging David who only saves the kingdom for his son Solomon at the last moment due to the promptings of Bathsheba and Nathan (1 Kgs 1), the Chronicler shows a smooth transition of power without a ripple of dissent: David himself publicly announces Solomonâs appointment and is present for his anointing; Solomonâs designation as successor is greeted with enthusiastic and total support on the part of the people, including the other sons of David, the officers and mighty men in the army (1 Chr 28:1â29:25), the very groups that had participated in Adonijahâs attempted coup (1 Chr 29:24; 1 Kgs 1:7â10). The Chronicler also deletes the record of Solomonâs compliance with Davidâs request that he take vengeance on Davidâs enemies after his death (1 Kgs 2). Gone too are the sins for which the deuteronomic historian had condemned Solomon (1 Kgs 11); the blame for the schism is shifted from Solomon to Jeroboam (2 Chr 13:6â7).
While the Chroniclerâs ennobling of Solomon is effected by his deletion of any blemish found the Kings account, these are not the only omissions he makes in line with his own central concerns; not just Solomonâs sins are missing, but also some accounts which would have enhanced a favorable portrayal of the king. Since the Chroniclerâs account of Solomonâs reign is given almost exclusively to his concern with the temple (2 Chr 2â7), narratives not showing any involvement with the cult are omitted. Even the enduement with wisdom is not wisdom in the abstract (1 Kgs 3:16â4:34) but is specifically wisdom to build the temple (see below, 2.c.).
2. The Chroniclerâs models. It is not sufficient to look at what the Chronicler omits alone; it is also necessary to assess his positive contributions. In the case of his account of Solomon the author appears to have used three distinct models to shape the record.
a. Solomon as a second David. Braun (âApologetic,â 506â14) has developed these parallels at some length. Solomon, like David, is king by divine choice; in ways not paralleled in Samuel-Kings, the Chronicler has twice recorded Solomonâs name in divine pronouncements regarding Davidâs successor (1 Chr 22:7â10; 28:6). The only occurrences in the OT of the term âchooseâ in reference to the divine choice of any king after David are found in 1 Chr 28:5â6, 10; 29:1 in reference to Solomon (Braun, âSolomon the Chosen,â 588â90). As king by divine election Solomon, like David, enjoys the complete and immediate support of all the people; the Chronicler had elaborated at length on the support of âall Israelâ for David at his accession (1 Chr 11â12), and now does so also for Solomon (1 Chr 28â29; cf. 29:22â25). Both kings are shown as having extensive concerns with the cult and the temple and its personnel. In some respects Solomon is even more idealized than David in Chronicles: no blame whatsoever attaches to Solomon as it had to David (1 Chr 21, and perhaps to a lesser extent, 1 Chr 13); Solomon enjoys the privilege of building the temple that had been forbidden to his father. While the earlier history could say that âSolomon did evil . . . and did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had doneâ (1 Kgs 11:6), the Chronicler can praise Rehoboamâs early years as a time when the nation walked âin the ways of David and Solomonâ (2 Chr 11:17).
b. The succession of Moses and Joshua as a paradigm for that of David and Solomon. Williamson (âAccession,â 351-56) develops the argument that the transition of leadership from Moses to Joshua provided the model used by the Chronicler to portray the transfer of leadership from David to Solomon. He notes the following ingredients in the Chroniclerâs account:
(1) The disqualification of Moses and David from achieving their chief goalsâthe one to enter the land, the other to build the templeâis intimately related to the appointment of their respective successors (Deut 1:37â38; 31:2â8; 1 Chr 22:5â13; 28:2â8) under whom these goals are realized.
(2) The installation of Joshua had been the object of earlier form critical studies; Williamson (âAccessionâ) and Braun (âSolomon the Chosen,â 586â88) both note the presence of the same elements for this Gattung in the appointment of Solomon. Not only are the various elements of the genre present, but there are also numerous phrases directly parallel in the two accounts (Williamson, âAccession,â 353â54):
âBe strong and take courageâ (): Deut 31:7, 23; Josh 1:6, 7, 9; 1 Chr 22:13; 28:20 (cf. Deut 31:6 and 1 Chr 28:10)âDo not be frightened or dismayedâ (or equivalents): Deut 31:8; Josh 1:9; 1 Chr 22:13; 28:20 (cf. Deut 31:6)âThe Lord your God is with youâ (or equivalents): Deut 31:6, 8, 23; Josh 1:5, 9; 1 Chr 22:11, 16; 28:20; 2 Chr 1:1âHe will never leave you nor forsake youâ (or equivalents): Deut 31:6, 8, Josh 1:5; 1 Chr 28:20Stress on prospering through observance of the law: Deut 31:5; Josh 1:7â8; 1 Chr 22:12â13; 28:7â9
(3) Both Moses and David make double announcements regarding the appointment of their successors, once in a private meeting (Deut 1:23; 1 Chr 22:6) and also publicly (Deut 31:2; 1 Chr 28:8).
(4) Both Joshua and Solomon enjoy the immediate and wholehearted support of the people (Deut 34:9; Josh 1:16â20; 1 Chr 29:23â24).
(5) It is twice reported of both Joshua and Solomon that God âmagnifiedâ each (Josh 3:7; 4:14; 1 Chr 29:25; 2 Chr 1:1); the piel of is used in all four instances.
A sixth point could be added to Williamsonâs five: b...
