2 CHRONICLES

     The Books of First and Second Chronicles cover the same period of Jewish history described in Second Samuel through Second Kings, but the perspective is different.  These books are no mere repetition of the same material, but rather form a divine editotial on the history of God's people.  While Second Samuel and First and Second Kings give a political historyof Israeland Judah, First and Second Chronicles present a religious history of the Davidic dynasty of Judah.  The former are written from a prophetic and moral viewpoint, and the latter from a priestly and spiritual perspective.  The Book of First Chronicles begins with the royal line of David, and then traces the spritual significance of David's rrighteous reign.
