Chapter 2 is a more detailed account of the creation of Adam and Eve and day six of creation

That's all you really have to know about this issue and the Holy Spirit, who wrote the Bible, will clarify it for anyone who is willing to be taught.

Jesus said God's words are spirit and life. He also said man's carnal mind cannot discern God's spirit. It takes a regenerated mind with the help of the Holy Spirit to read and understand the Bible the way God intended it to be understood.

Thank you for this true comment. The willingness to read Scripture in all humility is the key. Coming to Scripture on our knees first, and scholarship second (if at all).

Chapter two shows how God taught Adam, as a new creation without a frame of reference, the life lessons he needed to know.

After working take regular rest. Seventh day.

God has made a place for you, take care of it. Garden.

Learn about the other creatures of the world, it will teach you lessons you need to know. Unlike you the rest of the creatures have mates.

Be thankful to your creator who has given you a mate that you can become one with.

These are just a few of the things I see in chapter two. There are very likely others. It is not a repeat of the creation account as you have said.
