1 & 2 Chronicles
Introduction
These two books were originally one book in the Hebrew scripture. They were written after the Babylonian captivity. I & II Chronicles tell the story of the kings from God’s viewpoint. There are references in I Chronicles to books that are unknown. (See I Chronicles 29:29) These books have not yet been found. Keep in mind that God has given us His Word that He wants us to know and hold dear in our hearts. It begins to give us genealogies from Adam to Noah. Remember, we have these names to show the bloodline of Jesus’ earthly parents. It also shows the Davidic line of the kings. This book demonstrates the moral reason for the history of Judah. It also focuses on the function of the Priesthood. Some believe it is written by Ezra. Others think that a Levite who had a part in the services of worship since there is much said about the Levite priesthood and the singers in the temple. As you read both of the books of Chronicles, be aware of God’s eternal purpose and how He never wavered. He is well aware of where you are in your circumstances in life. You can trust Him. Let Him lead you and learn from these books that He has all power and might and nothing will change that fact
