1Chronicles

First and Second Chronicles formed one book in the Hebrew canon. The two books embody many of the events recorded in 1 and 2 Kings, being devoted to the history of Judah from the time of Saul's death to the Babylonian captivity. They were composed much later than the Books of the Kings, possibly during the captivity, and were written for the most part, from the priestly point of view. For this reason, 1Chronicles begins with the most extensive collection of genealogical records in the Bible, the purpose of which is to draw all lines of redemptive history to their focal point in David. Much emphasis is placed upon the dedication and services of the Temple and the ministry of the Levites. The account in 1Chronicles of Judah under David and Solomon omits certain of the darker incidents included in 1 and 2 Kings. The northern kingdom (Israel) is not in view in the Books of the Chronicles, except as it relates to Judah. Some portions of this book are unique in the historical record, e.g. David's preparation of material for building the Temple, the divisions of personnel ministering in the Temple, and David's final exhortation to Israel and Solomon.
