1 Chronicles (Bible)
1 and 2 Chronicles presents a summary of Israel's past, starting at the beginning (with genealogical records going back to Adam), and ending at the time of Israel's return from their exile in Babylon.
Relationship to other Old Testament historical books
- The books of 1 and 2 Samuel, and 1 and 2 Kings, provide a more in-depth account of the history of Israel, from the time of the prophet Samuel, to the exile in Babylon. The emphasis in those books is somewhat different.
- The first 9 chapters contain information (such as genealogical records) not found in 1 Samuel. On the other hand, most of the information in 1 Samuel is not included in 1 Chronicles, other than the death of King Saul (1 Chronicles 10).
- The information in 2 Samuel parallels the rest of 1 Chronicles. The book ends at the death of King David, corresponding to where 2 Samuel ends.
