    1st & 2nd Chronicles
    • What are 1-2 Chronicles?
    The original Hebrew title for the book of the Chronicles is from
    1 Chronicles 27:24 and can be translated “the events of the
    years.” In the Septuagint, the title is Paraleipomenon,
    which means “things left out,” since much of the
    information in the Chronicles is history not included in 1 &
    2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings. The present title, however, was
    popularized during the Protestant Reformation when Martin
    Luther used an ancient Latin translation which means “the
    chronicle of the whole sacred history.” Luther called the
    books, Die Chronika.
    1 Chronicles provides a genealogical record beginning with
    Adam, then focuses on David, from his rise to power to his
    death. 2 Chronicles provides an account of the reign of
    Solomon followed by a record of the remaining 20 kings of
    Judah.
    1st & 2nd Chronicles
    • Who Wrote 1-2 Chronicles?
    The author of 1 & 2 Chronicles is anonymous. Jewish
    tradition and some modern scholars claim Ezra to be
    the author, but there is no hard evidence to support
    that claim. Typically known as “the Chronicler,”
    internal evidence suggests that the author was a priest
    or Levite who was serving in the temple during the
    Persian period (539-332 B.C.). However, because
    Chronicles includes modified passages from Ezra and
    Nehemiah as well as a list of postexilic descendants
    of David, a date of 400 B.C. or even some decades
    later is most likely.
    1st & 2nd Chronicles
    • Why Were 1-2 Chronicles Written?
    The Chronicles help God’s people to understand how they
    came to be in exile, having fallen from their former glory.
    However, rather than a comprehensive history of the rise
    and downfall of the nation, Chronicles seems to serve as a
    guide for those returning to Judah to help rebuild the
    temple and to encourage them with the faithfulness of
    God in His promises to Abraham, Jacob, and David.
    1 Chronicles, in particular, highlights the centrality of God in
    worship as foundational to His people.
    2 Chronicles, in particular, focuses on the building and
    dedication of the temple as well as the failure of the
    people to remain faithful to worship God (Yahweh) alone.
