Israel’s Place, A Priestly Perspective, II Chronicles 1-2 OT S1:E214

Chronicles is the priestly, spiritual account of Israel's history. The Chronicler was a returning exile, who most likely worked at the direction of Ezra and/or Nehemiah. As he begins his account of Israel's history, he places them within the table of nations. He points out how God was faithful to them, despite their unfaithfulness to Him.
