1 Chronicles 22 Footnotes

22:1 The material in chaps. 22–29 is found nowhere else in the OT, and the Chronicler’s source or sources for this detailed section on David has been the object of much speculation.

22:3 The tenth century BC is part of what historians call the Iron Age. Iron was relatively new and expensive. The Philistines were masters of iron technology, and the origin of this iron was almost certainly captured booty from David’s wars.
