This book compares and contrasts several parallel passages in the Hebrew Bible that relate to the David narratives. Lydie Kucov analyses both the ancient texts and versions of the books of Samuel-Kings and Chronicles, with a central theme of the contrast in wording between the primary Hebrew and Greek texts.

Beginning with a review of the past scholarly synopses of these passages, Kucov outlines the main characteristics of ancient texts that are significant for her study (Masoretic text, Dead Sea scrolls, Septuagint texts, Targums and Peshitta related to the books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles). She then proceeds to compare the two separate accounts of David's reign, such as Saul's death, the Philistine campaigns and the transfer of the Ark. Rather than imply any correlation between the texts, Kucov instead provides a parallel of David narratives for more convenient in-depth study
