As for the events of King David’s reign, from beginning to end, they are written in the records of Samuel the seer, the records of Nathan the prophet and the records of Gad the seer, together with the details of his reign and power, and the circumstances that surrounded him and Israel and the kingdoms of all the other lands. (1 Chronicles 29:29-30)
Here I see that the editor of the Bible’s book of First Chronicles had other written volumes at his disposal. Here he invites his readers to cross check or verify what he has written by the records of Samuel the seer (First and Second Samuel?), Nathan the prophet, and Gad the seer. Israel’s history is is the work of many persons and the delight of One God.
I wonder how it would be if we believers checked one another’s records, one another’s histories, for evidence of God’s influence, presence, wisdom, and power...
