The books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles record the history of the Jews from the last judge (Samuel) and the establishment of the first king (Saul), to the exile of the nation to Babylon.
The books of 1 and 2 Kings were written from the viewpoint of the prophets, while 1 and 2 Chronicles present the priestly viewpoint of Jewish history.
There is an emphasis in Chronicles on the Levites, the building of the temple,
God’s covenant as recorded in Deuteronomy, and the holy city of Jerusalem.
You might say that 1 and 2
Kings give us the political record and 1 and 2 Chronicles the religious record
Author: Ezra is probably the writer of the Chronicles.
There is a striking similarity in style and language to the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
Evidently Chronicles was written during the Babylonian captivity.
The two Books of Chronicles not only constituted one book in the original, but apparently also included Ezra and Nehemiah.
This lends support to the Jewish tradition of the authorship of Ezra.

\\ 1 Chronicles
The books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles record the history of the Jews from the last judge (Samuel) and the establishment of the first king (Saul), to the exile of the nation to Babylon.
The books of 1 and 2 Kings were written from the viewpoint of the prophets, while 1 and 2 Chronicles present the priestly viewpoint of Jewish history.
There is an emphasis in Chronicles on the Levites, the building of the temple,
God’s covenant as recorded in Deuteronomy, and the holy city of Jerusalem.
You might say that 1 and 2
Kings give us the political record and 1 and 2 Chronicles the religious record.
(Or J.V. McGee says it in another way, “The Books of Samuel and the Books of Kings we were given Man’s viewpoint.
This does not mean that those books were not inspired.
They are inspired.
But He gives first the human viewpoint, then the divine viewpoint.
In 1 Chronicles we see why as God’s emphasis is on David.
Where did David put the emphasis?
He put it on the building of the temple of God”.)
Remember David was called “a man after God’s own heart We want find the sin of David, his adultery or his lying or how he killed an innocent man.
Why?
If this is God record written in heaven, David’s sins were forgiven and forgotten.
So the Book of Samuel and Kings are showing us the history in man’s eyes and in the Books of Chronicles we are seeing the same story but God is to focus on parts of the story we might have over looked.
Really God does this all through out His Word: In Genesis 1, He gives the story of creation but in chapter two He reviews over it again.
Do you remember in Deuteronomy we saw it was the repeating of the Law that was given in Leviticus but only forty years later with the experience of the wilderness in it.
In the Gospels we see four different men writing by the inspiration of God on the same account.
So God does repeat Himself for us to pay attention to His message.

Study Question for 1 Chronicles
Q.
1 Why do you think it was so important for the Jewish genealogy to take up the first nine chapters of 1 Chronicles?
Genealogies make boring reading for most people today, but they were essential to the Jews who had to keep accurate records of their family ties for many reasons.
For the Jews: actually an accurate genealogy record was more value than silver or gold.
They had to know their tribe, clan, and family relationships because property ownership was supposed to stay within the tribe.
In situations where a kinsman redeemer would rescue a poor person, he had to prove that he was indeed a near relative.
(Remember the Book of Ruth.)
The firstborn son received twice as much inheritance as did the other sons.
Of course, the priests and Levites had to prove that they were from the tribe of Levi or they were not permitted to serve.
These hundreds of names, some of them difficult to pronounce, represent people whom God used to maintain the “living link” with the promises and covenants of the past.
The Jews were chosen by God and given promises that would ultimately affect the entire world.
Had there been a break in this chain of “living links,” the Savior could not have been born into this world.
With the Genealogy we couldn’t prove His Kingship or how He fulfilled the prophecies that were given about His coming.
Most of these people are unknown while a few of them are very famous, but God used all of them to accomplish His purposes.
When you read your Bible, you remember people like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, and David, but were it not for a great many lesser-known people, these men would not have been on the scene.
Let’s thank God for the “forgotten people” who helped the “famous people” get there!
Scattered throughout these genealogies are the names of people who are given special identification, and reflecting on them can teach us some important spiritual lessons.
Q.2
Match the seven names to the seven titles below:* Amnon,* *Beriah,** Achan, , Er,* *Reuben *
* and* *Jabez**.*
* I.*
*Nimrod, the Mighty Hunter (**1:10**)*
*I.* *Nimrod, the Mighty Hunter (**1:10**)*
The reference is to Gen. 10:8–10.
The word “hunter” carries the connotation of hunting people, not hunting animals.
He was a rebel who defied God and set up the infamous kingdom of Babylon.
After the sons of Noah began to replenish the earth, it didn’t take long for their descendants to turn against the Lord.
The lesson of the flood didn’t penetrate very deep.
* II.*
*_____, the Wicked Son (2:3)* *Er, the Wicked Son (2:3)*
See Genesis 38:7 We don’t know the nature of Er’s sin, but it was something serious enough for God to killed him.
His brother Onan refused to marry the widow and carry on the brother’s name and family, so he was also killed.
See Deut.
25:5–10.
It was important to God that the Jewish people continue to multiply, for He had some special tasks for them to fulfill.
The whole story about Judah and Tamar seems disgusting to us, yet Tamar is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ (Matt.
