Note that 931 BC marks the division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes (Judah and Benjamin) and Ten Northern Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware that after the division of the Kingdom in 931 BC, the Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as "Judah" and the Northern Kingdom as "Israel." Finally, note that 1 Chronicles 1-9 is not identified on the timeline because these chapters are records of genealogy.

This reinforces "all Israel's" whole-hearted (cf. 1 Chr. 12:33,38) support of the new king. In Samuel it developed slowly but in Chronicles it is telescoped. This support is divinely ordained (cf. 1 Chr. 12:18). It documents the soldiers from different places and tribes who joined David in his wilderness stronghold (i.e., Ziklag). from Benjamin, 1 Chr. 12:1-7 from Gad, 1 Chr. 12:8-15 from Benjamin and Judah, 1 Chr. 12:16-18 from Manasseh, 1 Chr. 12:19-22 list of the divisions who came to David at Hebron, 1 Chr. 12:23-40 Since the prophecy in poetic form is not repeated in Samuel or Kings, this may be evidence that the Chronicler had extra pieces of information (written and/or oral). Related Passages: 1 Samuel 27:2; 6-commentary So David arose and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath....6 So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. For background on David's time in Ziklag read commentary on 1 Samuel 27 and 1 Samuel 30. Chapter 12 is supplementary to Samuel. It contains a list of those who joined David in his exile from Saul, as well as a list of those tribes who made him king of united Israel. August Konkel: Support to make David king did not begin with the demise of Saul’s reign. The Chronicler goes back in time to show the support that David received while Saul was king and David was a fugitive. This list is to be distinguished from the preceding in that these warriors are not part of all Israel that made David king in Hebron (1Ch 11:1). The main point of this list is that warriors kept coming to David until they became a vast camp of various tribes, capable of representing all Israel in support for David as king (1Ch 12:1, 8, 16, 19–20, 22). Their support for David as his helpers is emphasized repeatedly (1Ch 12:1, 17–18, 21–22). Andrew Hill: Chapter 12 divides neatly into two parts: the defectors from Saul’s army who join David while he is a fugitive as the rival king (1Ch 12:1–22), and the assembly of the Israelite militia at Hebron for David’s coronation (1Ch 12:23–40).
