Lists of descendants (1:1-9:44)\n    * From Adam to Jacob (1:1–2:2)\n    * Jacob’s descendants (2:2–9:44)\n1. Saul dies and David begins to reign (10:1-29:30)\n    * Saul dies (10:1–14)\n    * David captures Jerusalem (11:1-9)\n    * David’s mighty men (11:10–12:40)\n    * David prospers (13:1–22:1)\n    * David prepares for Solomon to build the temple (22:2–29:30)\n\n### What are the Books of 1 and 2 Chronicles about?\n\nThe Book of 1 Chronicles retells the line of descendants from Adam to Saul. It then gives the history of Israel during the time of David. The Book of 2 Chronicles gives the history of Israel beginning with Solomon. It ends when the Babylonian army attacks Judah and takes some of the people to Babylon. The writers of Chronicles probably wrote these books for the Jews who returned from exile in Babylon. The purpose was to teach the people to avoid disobeying God as their ancestors did.\n\n### How should the title of this book be translated?\n\nTranslators can use the traditional title “1 Chronicles” or “First Chronicles.” You may also call this book “The Events of the Kings of Judah and Israel, Book 1” or “The First Book of the Events of the Kings of Judah and Israel.”\n\n### Who wrote 1 and 2 Chronicles?\n\nThe writers of 1 and 2 Chronicles are unknown. They mention that they used other books when writing Chronicles. The names of these other books are “The Chronicles of Samuel the Seer,” “The Chronicles of Nathan the Seer,” “The Chronicles of Gad the Seer,” “The History of Nathan the Prophet,” “The Chronicles of Shemaiah the Prophet and Iddo,” “The Story of the Prophet Iddo” and “The books of the kings of Judah and Israel.”\n\n### Why are there multiple books that give the history of the kings of Israel?\n\nThe books of Chronicles and the books of Kings tell much of the same history, but they are not exactly the same. The writers of Chronicles wrote mostly about the kings of Judah who were faithful to Yahweh and his covenant. The writers wanted the Jews to think carefully about David and Solomon. They also wanted the Jews to think about how Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, and Josiah caused their ancestors to repent and to worship Yahweh. The writers wanted to encourage the Jews and their leaders to obey the law and to honor God’s covenant with them. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant]])\n\n## Part 2: Important Religious and Cultural Concepts\n\n### Why did God punish the people of Israel?\n\nGod punished the people of Israel because they disobeyed him and worshiped false gods. God punished them with disease, disasters, and defeat in battle. However, God forgave them and caused them to prosper again if they repented and obeyed him. The writers of 1 and 2 Chronicles continually reminded the readers that God punished his people because they disobeyed. They wanted the readers to understand that they must obey God.\n\n### Why are alliances with foreign countries seen as evil in these books?\n\nYahweh led and protected the nation of Israel. The people of Israel should have trusted him instead of relying on other nations to protect them.\n\n## Part 3: Important Translation Issues\n\n### What is the meaning of the term “Israel”?\n\nThe name “Israel” is used in many different ways in the Bible. Jacob was the son of Isaac. God changed Jacob’s name to Israel. The descendants of Jacob became a nation also called Israel. Eventually, the nation of Israel split into two kingdoms. The northern kingdom was named Israel. The southern kingdom was named Judah.\n\n### What does it mean to “seek God”?\n\nThe writers of 1 and 2 Chronicles often wrote about “seeking God.” To “seek God” means to make an effort to please and honor God. It can also mean to ask God for help. It does not imply that God is hidden. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])\n\n### What does the phrase “to this day” mean?\n\nThe writers used the phrase “to this day” to refer to the time when they were writing. The translator should be aware that “to this day” refers to a time already passed. The translator might decide to say, “to this day, at the time when this is being written,” or, “to this day, at the time of writing.” This Hebrew phrase occurs in 1 Chronicles 4:41, 43; 5:26; 13:11; 20:26; 21:10; 35:25.
