1 AND 2 CHRONICLES

1 AND 2 CHRONICLES

Gives us the history of the family of David — ending, of course, like the former, with the Babylonish captivity.

1 Chronicles is David himself. At the close, David has the pattern of everything by the Spirit, and leaves it to Solomon to execute.

2 Chronicles is David’s posterity.

Chronicles are more connected with the establishment of the kingdom on earth, Kings more figurative of what is heavenly. In the temple in Chronicles there is a veil (2 Chronicles 3: 14), in Kings not. The veil will not be rent for Israel in the millennium.
