King David’s royal line is the main topic in 1st Chronicles and traces the spiritual significance of David’s righteous reign. So, I would say that this is a extremely important book of the Bible because Jesus is of King David’s line.

Author: The text does not offer us the author’s name however, several facts seem to support the thoughts that Ezra the priest was the author. Chronicles is written with priestly authorship. a majority of the content is focused on the Temple, the Priesthood and the theocratic line of David in the southern kingdom of Judah.

The closing verses in 2nd Chronicles are repeated with very minor changes as the opening of Ezra of Ezra. So, theologians are thinking that Chronicles and Ezra may have been one consecutive history as were Luke and Acts in the NT.

Date and setting: Ezra probably completed Chronicles between 450-430 B.C. Do you see, we are getting closer to the birth of Jesus. In 457 B.C. Ezra leads some of the exiles back to Jerusalem and ministers to the people as their spiritual leader.

Ezra’s focus was to remind the people that they must remain the covenant people of God. Ezra made sure the Jews remembered their spiritual heritage even though they had been exiled and taken away from Israel.

During Ezra’s time, Nehemiah is the political leader and Malachi is the moral leader. Not bad company I would say.

“11 For when you die and join your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong. 12 He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me.

I will never take my favor from him as I took it from the one who ruled before you. 14 I will confirm him as king over my house and my kingdom for all time, and his throne will be secure forever.”

So.....What is God promising here? God is promising David that He will “establish him (David’s ultimate offspring, Jesus Christ) in My house and in My kingdom forever; and His throne shall be established forever.”

Chronicles words show David in a completely different light than in the previous Books we have covered. Chronicles omits David’s struggles with Saul, Chronicles omits David’s seven yer reign in Hebron and his various wives. It also leaves out the events in 2nd Samuel that really hurt the rest of David’s life as well as his families---His sin with Bathsheba.

In Closing: At the end of the day the meaning and message of the Chronicler’s is that God had made a promise to David. Remember, David had wanted to build a house for God. Nathan the prophet had a vision informing David that he (David) had it all backwards. David would not build a house for God, but God would build a house for David.
