We\u2019re back in the Old Testament with 2 Chronicles which is the second book of a four book series which includes 1 & 2 Chronicles along with Ezra and Nehemiah. Combined, they make up a historical account of God\u2019s people starting with Adam and ending with the return to Jerusalem from their exile in Babylon. It\u2019s likely that Ezra is the author of all four and the one responsible for compiling the material, but we don\u2019t know for sure. Here in the second book of Chronicles we begin with the rule of Solomon, son of King David, who has been given authority as king by God\u2019s special decree. Later, we\u2019ll begin reading Isaiah, and in chapter 1 you\u2019ll notice a stark contrast between worship at the temple\u2019s beginning and worship in the temple\u2019s latter days.
