It highlights Solomon’s temple dedication, the division of the kingdom, and the reigns of Judah’s kings. The narrative underscores God’s covenant, the consequences of disobedience, and the hope of restoration through repentance.<p><b>Title and Author:</b> 1 and 2 Chronicles, known in Hebrew as “Divrei Hayamim” (“The Words of the Days”), are traditionally attributed to Ezra the scribe. This attribution is based on Jewish tradition and the internal evidence of the text, which aligns with the style and concerns of the post-exilic period.<p><b>Historical Context:</b> 2 Chronicles covers the history of the southern kingdom of Judah from the reign of Solomon to the Babylonian exile. It was likely written after the return from exile, around the fifth century BC, during a time when the Jewish community was reestablishing itself in Jerusalem. <p><b>Audience and Purpose:</b> The narrative addresses the post-exilic Jewish community, reminding them of their spiritual heritage and the importance of faithfulness to God. It emphasizes temple worship, the Davidic line, and covenant adherence. The book encourages future generations by highlighting God’s faithfulness and the consequences of obedience and disobedience.<p><b>Genre and Style:</b> 2 Chronicles is a historical narrative with a theological focus. It employs genealogies, speeches, and prayers to convey its message.<div class="vheading2">Key People</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b> (<a href="/2_chronicles/1.htm">2 Chronicles 1:1</a>) -
