THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ARK NARRATIVE - JAMES M...

The Significance of the Ark Narrative: Literary Formation and Artistry in the Book of
Chronicles argues that there is only one author responsible for the second part of the ark
narrative (1 Chr 15-16). The lists and unique material that are found within the narrative play
an important literary role in the work. Other parts of the book of Chronicles  such as the
genealogies (1 Chr 1-9) and David's organization of the cult and civil servants (1 Chr 23-27)
are also open to redaction criticism. The findings suggest that they also require a single
author. This makes the role of the clergy one of the Chronicler's own emphasis  which means
that David's organization of the clergy portrays Israel as a cultic community. It is worship
planned by David and carried out under the authority of the Levites and priests that is
consistently emphasized throughout the book. Therefore  the ark narrative should be viewed as
the thematic and theological foundation of the book.
