Institution of the Lord’s Supper
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

“24:1 This event is placed by the writer of 1 Chr. 21 at the end of David’s reign, during his final talks with Solomon and preparations for transferring the kingdom to him. See note on 1 Chr. 21:1 for a further explanation of this event.” (NEW SPIRIT FILLED LIFE Bible—Jack W. Hayford, Litt.D.—New King James Version—THOMAS NELSON—Since 1798)
“21:1-30 At this juncture, 1 Chr. Passes over a number of events in the life of David and proceeds to the end of his life. The chronicler does not discuss the events of 2 Sam. 13:1—23:7, including David’s troubles with Amnon and Tamar, his son Absalom, Ziba, Shimei, and Sheba. Instead, the author moves directly to those incidents that set the stage for building the temple.’
’21:1 To number Israel: The census of David in this chapter is also recorded in 2 Sam. 24, but there it states that it was because God was angry with Israel (the reason for this is unclear) that He moved David to take the census. The account of the census has been problematic because God does not cause anyone to sin (James 1:13) and because it is not apparent why such a census was wrong (Num. 1:2, 3; 26:2-4). The first problem is clarified by comparing 2 Sam. 24:1 with 1 Chr. 21:1. God did not directly incite David to do something for which he would then turn around and judge him (v. 14); rather, He allowed Satan to influence David to do what David probably already had in his heart to do (James 1:14, 15).” (NEW SPIRIT FILLED LIFE Bible—Jack W. Hayford, Litt.D.—New King James Version—THOMAS NELSON—Since 1798)
‘. . . “2 Samuel 20:16-26
New King James Version
16 Then a wise woman cried out from the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come nearby, that I may speak with you.’ ” 17 When he had come near to her, the woman said, “Are you Joab?”
He answered, “I am.”
Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your maidservant.”
And he answered, “I am listening.”
18 So she spoke, saying, “They used to talk in former times, saying, ‘They shall surely seek guidance at Abel,’ and so they would end disputes. 19 I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of the Lord?”
20 And Joab answered and said, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy! 21 That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city.”
So the woman said to Joab, “Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.” 22 Then the woman in her wisdom went to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. Then he blew a trumpet, and they withdrew from the city, every man to his tent. So Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.
David’s Government Officers
23 And Joab was over all the army of Israel; Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; 24 Adoram was in charge of revenue; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 25 Sheva was scribe; Zadok and Abiathar were the priests; 26 and Ira the Jairite was [a]a chief minister under David.
