In ancient times, 1 & 2 Chronicles were a single book, and we will treat it as one in this lesson. Chronicles is Israel’s patriotic history book: it focuses on the good things of David and the kings of Judah, while Samuel and Kings air out all the dirty laundry.
We also look at Judah’s exile to Babylon in 2 Kings 25.
