It will be seen at a glance that large portions of earlier canonical
Scripture have been reproduced in Chronicles exactly or very closely:
viz.

Genesis x. 2‒29; xxv. 1‒4, 10‒16; xxxvi., _passim_.

1 Samuel xxxi.

2 Samuel v.‒viii.; x.; xxiii. 8‒xxiv. 25.

1 Kings iii. 4‒14; v.‒vii. (in part); viii.‒x.; xi. 41‒xii. 24; xiv.
21‒xv. 24 (in part); xxii. (in part).

2 Kings viii. 17‒29; xi., xii.; xiv. 1‒22; xv., xvi. (in part);
xxi.‒xxiv. (in part).

Ezra i. 1‒3.

As the foregoing list shows, Chronicles by no means includes all the
narrative of Samuel and Kings. In particular may be noted the omission
of any account of the early life of David (1 Samuel _passim_), the
_Court History_ of David (2 Samuel xi.‒xx.), the history of Elijah and
Elisha (1 Kings xvii.‒xxi.; 2 Kings i. 1‒viii. 15), and the affairs of
the Northern Kingdom with a few exceptions.
