David becomes king of Israel and captures Jerusalem. The Chronicler glosses over the years of rule over Judah at Hebron and the warfare with the house of Saul. The mighty men who helped David establish his kingdom are named. This kingdom with divine purpose is established with messianic overtones. The writer places the attempt to return the Ark immediately after the capture of Jerusalem to show David's concern for the worship of God.
