“6:10-11 The Chronicler blends the covenant of Sinai, represented by the Ark, with the Jerusalem Temple and the Davidic dynasty; he makes no mention of Israel’s exodus from Egypt, only implying it with reference to the Ark. God’s covenant relationship with Israel under Solomon and David formed the basis for the community’s relationship with God at the time of the Chronicler.”
