Lesson Overview

Chronicles was written as one book that chronicled Judah’s history in three parts. The writer traced David’s chronology back to Adam, then presented lengthy accounts of his and Solomon’s reigns. The third section tells Judah’s history under the succession of Davidic kings and through exile and return. You will study God’s sovereign hand in preserving the Messianic line until the Son of David rules over all creation.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to:

  • Compare and contrast the records of Israel (under David and Solomon) and Judah’s monarchy as recorded in Kings and Chronicles.
  • Identify, trace, and explain at least three essential themes through Israel’s history.
  • Develop greater awareness of God’s participation in His people’s unfolding history.

Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
Dr. Stuart identifies “restoration” as a key perspective and agenda for the author of 1 and 2 Chronicles. If you could challenge the church today with a message of “restoration,” what would you emphasize?
