1 Chronicles 20

1 Chronicles 20

The account of a major war with the Ammonites is recorded, where Joab successfully besieges their capital city, Rabbah. The chapter then records several battles with the Philistines, highlighting the strength of David’s army and the defeat of several Philistine giants. Notably, one giant is killed by David's nephew, Jonathan. This chapter focuses exclusively on military victories and the death of giants, omitting the narrative of David's sin with Bathsheba, which is a key difference from the parallel account in 2 Samuel.
