I Chronicles

The book of I Chronicles devotes the first ten chapters to a genealogy of the Israelites dating way back before they became slaves in Egypt.  The reason for the genealogy is because the book was written around the time of the second temple as the Israelites were restored to their land although they were still not a nation.  I Chronicles then tells of the reigns of Saul and then David and records the events recorded in the book of I and II Samuel.. In this book, we find also that David too was misled into thinking that it was literally his son who would build a temple of human hands for God to dwell in.  I Chronicles also tells the cabinet of the land that served under the reign of David when he was king over Israel.  In the passage where David took the census against the will of God, it says that an evil spirit from God incited David to take the census.  The text literally reads when translated directly from the Greek "A Satan."  The name of Satan as we know it today was never explicitly mentioned in the Old Testament.  It was pronounced differently then what we pronounce it as today and referred to a messenger who appealed to God for permission to tempt humankind with certain tests and trials.  The name of Goliath is also different in I Chronicles.  However, this is perfectly explanatory because people actually had many different names back then.
