In 1 Chronicles the writer documented David’s greatness as God’s faithful vice-regent. In 2 Chronicles he evaluated all David’s successors in terms of his successes. In the chapters that unfold, the writer wove his hope for Israel’s future together with God’s love, as demonstrated in His past faithfulness, to encourage faith and obedience in his readers.
