| | Introduction to II Chronicles (2) A Concluding Word |
 | | The Second Chronicles records the period of First and Second Kings from a priestly and divine perspective, but virtually ignores the northern kingdom of Israel because of her false worship and refusal to acknowledge the temple in Jerusalem, the unique center of worship. | | | Second Chronicles concentrates on the kings of Judah who are concerned with maintaining the proper service of God and the spiritual revival. | | | The books of Chronicles teach us that not keeping God's words and God's ways greatly displeases God and results in the Babylonian Captivity, while the books of Ezra and Nehemiah teach us that keeping God's words and God's ways pleases God. |

| | Second Chronicles begins with the glory of Solomon’s rule and ends with the decree of Cyrus which permitted the Jews to return from captivity. | | | The Bible says: “He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done” (2 Chronicles 29:2). | | | It is clear from reading First Chronicles that the author had two purposes in mind for writing: (1) To provide a history of God’s people showing they had gone into captivity; (2) To give the family records so that families returning from Babylon could claim their land. |

| | 1 Chronicles |
| | Today most Old Testament scholars recognize the unity of the two books of Chronicles but separate them from the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, citing thematic differences such as the lack of Davidic messianism, 'second exodus' overtones, and the 'pan-Israelitic' emphasis in the latter. | | | At present it seems best to recognize the books of Chronicles as a unified composition written by an unknown chronicler. | | | Some exercise their ingenuity in isolating a complete block or actually a book which they call the Second Chronicler, consisting of the whole genealogical vestibule of 1 Chr 1-9 plus long cognate passages from throughout the work (Hänel, Welch). |

| | As one might expect, the history of Israel continues in the second book of Chronicles. | | | As in the book II Kings we read of the utter destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians; but an introduction is given to us of the 'glorious' event that ended the Exile of Israel in Babylon, namely the fall of the Babylonian Empire and the rise of the Persian king, Cyrus. | | | The magnificence and splendour of Solomon's court is emphasised, and much emphasis is laid upon the work of priests and Levites. |

| | Matthew Henry Commentary - 1 Chronicles - Preface |
| | These books of Chronicles are in a great measure repetition; so are much of the second and third of the four evangelists: and yet there are no tautologies either here or there no vain repetitions. | | | We may be ready to think that of all the books of holy scripture we could best spare these two books of Chronicles. | | | It might be of great use to those who lived when these books were first published, before the canon of the Old Testament was completed and the particles of it put together; for it would remind them of what was more fully related in the other books. |

| | II Chronicles |
| | Chronicles was probably written between 450 and 425 B.C. Second Chronicles covers from the reign of Solomon to the Babylonian exile, to the conquest of Babylon by the Persians, a time period from 970 B.C. to about 539 B.C. Purpose | | | Again, the purpose of Second Chronicles is similar to that of First Chronicles, mainly to be an encouragement to the people who have returned to Jerusalem after the exile who are in the process of rebuilding the city and the temple. | | | Perhaps the greatest theological contribution of II Chronicles is the repeated example that falling away from God leads to disaster, but that God is ever ready to forgive us when we humble ourselves before Him and seek his will again. |
