the name originally given to the record made by the appointed historiographers in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. In the LXX. these books are called Paralipomena (i.e. things omitted), which is understood as meaning that they are supplementary to the books of Kings. The constant tradition of the Jews is that these books were for the most part compiled by Ezra. One of the greatest difficulties connected with the captivity and return must have been the maintenance of that genealogical distribution of the land which yet was a vital point of the Jewish economy. To supply this want and that each tribe might secure the inheritance of its fathers on its return was one object of the author of these books. Another difficulty intimately connected with the former was the maintenance of the temple services at Jerusalem. Zerubbabel, and after him Ezra and Nehemiah, labored most earnestly to restore the worship of God among the people, and to reinfuse something of national life and spirit into their hearts. Nothing could more effectually aid these designs than setting before the people a compendious history of the kingdom of David, its prosperity under God; the sins that led to its overthrow; the captivity and return. These considerations explain the plan and scope of that historical work which consists of the two books of Chronicles. The first book contains the sacred history by genealogies from the Creation to David, including an account of David's reign. In the second book he continues the story, giving the history of the kings of Judah, without those of Israel, down to the return from the captivity. As regards the materials used by Ezra, they are not difficult to discover. The genealogies are obviously transcribed from some register in which were preserved the genealogies of the tribes and families drawn up at different times; while the history is mainly drawn from the same document as those used in the books of King.

Bible Concordance • Bible Dictionary • Bible Encyclopedia • Topical Bible • Bible ThesuarusIn the Bible, the history of mankind, and the Israeli nation in particular, generally unfold chronologically throughout the Pentateuch (Five Books of Moses), Joshua and Judges (the events in Ruth occurs near the end of the Judges period). When we come to the books of Samuel, the Kings and the Chronicles however, we encounter quite a bit of overlap, both in period of time and in narrative material. Some may have even questioned the need for the repetition. Just as the Gospel was told from four different perspectives (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), the Chronicler had a different objective than the writers of Samuel and the Kings. The purpose of this article is to note the different purposes and provide a harmony of the books.

General Info
Bible Study For Lutherans
The books of Samuel and Kings, sometimes referred to as the “Books of the Kingdom”, provide selective coverage of the events spanning the entire historical period of the transition from the last judge (Samuel) and period of the monarchy. The books are located in the second section of the Hebrew Bible known as the “Former Prophets” and were written to provide a selective interpretive history of the period and to explain why the Jewish people were exiled (continual disobedience to the covenants).
In contrast, the Book of the Chronicles is located in the “Writings” section. While the books of Samuel and Kings are addressed to the Jews in exile, the Chronicles is addressed to the exiles who have returned from captivity. As the final book in the Hebrew Bible, the Chronicles was written in order to reassure the Jews that they are still God's chosen people as they continued to look forward to the coming Messiah.

Harmony of the Books
Just as many people have developed a harmony of the Gospels, we now provide a harmony of the books of the Kingdoms and the Chronicles. After the genealogies in the first nine chapters, the Chronicler greatly abbreviates the Reign of King Saul (part of chapter 10 compared with a large portion of 2Samuel. The remainder of 1Chronicles covers roughly the same period as 2Samuel. The second book of Chronicles covers roughly the same period as First and Second Kings. After the Kingdom division, the Chronicler is predominately interested in the Kingdom of Judah (royal line of David), essentially mentioning the Kings of the Northern Kingdom only as they interacted with the kings of the Southern Kingdom. Yet, the author of the Kings places a greater emphasis on the political and prophetic nature of the royal line, while the Chronicler emphasizes the priestly elements of the kingdom.
