+

The Books of I and II Chronicles tell the same story told in Genesis through II Kings, and end at the same point. They are a rehearsing of all that has gone on before, with special attention to the reign of [[David]], [[Solomon]], and other kings of [[Judah]]. I Chronicles is much like II [[Samuel]], dealing with the story of [[David]], with the first nine chapters dealing with genealogies. These genealogies cover the period from [[Adam]] to the return of the [[Jews]] from captivity.

+

The author of I Chronicles could very likely have been [[Ezra]] , even though we do not know this for certain. The Books of Kings differ from the Books of Chronicles in that Kings gives a parallel account of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, while Chronicles confines itself to the Southern Kingdom. Chronicles seems to be primarily concerned with the Kingdom of [[David]].

+

Repetition is very prevalent in I Chronicles, but in [[God]]'s Holy Word, repetition means importance. We should not neglect this part of [[God]]'s Word. Even though we might feel the Books of Kings and Chronicles are rather dry reading, they contain the story of [[God]]'s dealing with His people. We will find in them some of the finest jewels of Scripture.

+

Don't let [[Satan]] rob you of the blessings of these books. Read them carefully and be open to [[God]]'s Holy [[Spirit]] , that He might teach you through these chapters.
