A: God's Judgment and heed of supplications - famine (21:1-14)
B: David's warriors kill Giants of Gath (21:15-22)
C: Poetry - David's song of Deliverance (22:1-51)
C': Poetry - David's oracle of last words (23:1-7)
B': David's warriors and their renown (23:8-38)
A': God's Judgment and heed of supplications - pestilence (24:1-25)
Haven't yet figured out why the author chose to put these all in a chiasm. What further interpretation can we gain from observing this chiasm?
Here is yet another look at the same passage:
A David intervenes (21:1-14) Royal intervention – 21:14
B Accomplishments in Battle (21:15-22) Royal warfare
C David's praise (22:1-51) Royal words: 22:51
C' David's Wisdom (23:1-7) Royal words: 23:5
B' Accomplishments in Battle (23:8-39) Royal warfare
A' David intervenes (24:1-25) Royal intervention – 24:25
