A Parallel Historical Account
Scholars like Ellicott and Henry note that this verse, describing a second Philistine attack, is a parallel account of the events recorded in 2 Samuel 5:22–25. The book of Chronicles often retells stories from Samuel and Kings, sometimes with slight variations. Ellicott specifies that 'the valley' mentioned here is the valley of Rephaim.
