I & II Chronicles: An Expositional Commentary Audiobook (Free)

In Hebrew, this book is called dibhere ha-yamim: ”the phrases concerning the times.” The Jewish Bible respect the Old Testament as 22 books and Chronicles is usually counted as a single reserve. I and II Chronicles take the form of a history: David and Judah are the focal points. The emphasis of I and II Chronicles is for the Southern Kingdom and the preservation from the Davidic line.

The first nine chapters in I Chronicles are a genealogy from Adam to Jacob, Jacob to David, and David to Zedekiah. The writer of Chronicles, who is concerned with the nation as well as the monarchy, begins with Adam. The Holy Nature points out that this background of the Davidic line, in effect, benefits all mankind, not just the Jews.
