New NIV Chronological Bible

The "transition" note preceding I Chronicles, Chapter 20 compares the difference between the II Samuel and the I Chronicles' descriptions after the similar stories they include regarding David calling for a census. II Samuel concludes with stories they make the rest of David's reign seem feeble; while I Chronicles covers victories. I thought that was interesting. Again, Ezra was trying to motivate the returning Israelites under a common past- so painting victories and minimizing "feeble" makes sense.

Chapter 16 ends once the ceremonies were complete and the maintenance assignments were given David returns to his house.

Chapter 17 opens with David in his house having a conversation with Nathan, the Prophet, about David's desire to give God a permanent structure. David notes that he lives in a house of cedar while the Ark is in a tent. (not THE Tabernacle, which won't be reunited with the Ark until Solomon gets the Temple built.).
