The Book of Chronicles is a Hebrew prose work
constituting part of Jewish and Christian scripture.
It contains a genealogy starting from Adam, and a narrative of the history of ancient Judah and Israel until the proclamation of
King Cyrus the Great (c. 540 BC).
Chronicles is the final book of the Hebrew Bible, concluding the third section of Ketuvim, the last section of the Jewish Tanakh.
It was divided into two books in the Septuagint,
the Paralipoménōn (Greek: Παραλειπομένων, lit. "things left on one side").
In Christian contexts it is therefore known as the Books of Chronicles,
after the Latin name chronicon given to the text by the scholar Jerome.
In the Christian Bible,
the books (commonly referred to as 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles,
or First Chronicles and Second Chronicles) generally follow the two
Books of Kings, and precede Ezra–Nehemiah;
thus they conclude the history-oriented books of the Old Testament.
1. Genealogical lists (1-9)
2. The death of Saul (10)
3. David in Jerusalem and Hebron (11-12)
4. The Ark in Jerusalem (13-16)
5. God's promise to David (17)
6. Wars and administration (18-20)
7. David and the Temple service (21:1-29:9)
8. The last days of David (29:10-29:30)
The last events in Chronicles take place in the reign of Cyrus the Great,
the Persian king who conquered Babylon in 539 BC;
this sets the earliest possible date for the book.
Chronicles appears to be largely the work of a single individual.
The writer was probably male, probably a Levite (temple priest),
and probably from Jerusalem.
He was well-read, a skilled editor, and a sophisticated theologian.
His intention was to use Israel's past to convey religious messages to his peers, the literary and political elite of Jerusalem in the time of the
Achaemenid (First Persian) Empire.
