Published: June 6, 2019, 12:06 p.m.

In this lesson we summarize II Kings, which describes the final outcome of the kingdom becoming divided. We then move forward into an overview of the books of I and II Chronicles. These books mainly emphasize the life and times of the southern kingdom of Judah and the preservation of the Davidic line throughout it’s timeline. 

The first nine chapters of I Chronicles lists a genealogy from Adam to Jacob, Jacob to David, and David to Zedekiah. The last twenty chapters add more detail surrounding David’s reign in Jerusalem.

The book of II Chronicles includes a look-back into Solomon's time as king over the united kingdom, with more detail about his reign, building the Temple and his magnificence during his tenure. It also reviews the division of the nation, anticipates  Judah's exile, and the twenty kings of Judah and their deportation to Babylon.

After this, we begin our study in the deeply meaningful and revelatory book of Job.
