Chronicles Reframes Israel's Story

- The chronicler highlights David's line and priestly continuity as a redemption tapestry pointing to future restoration.
Southern Kingdom Is Central
- 2 Chronicles selectively summarizes Kings, intentionally excluding the Northern Kingdom.
- The chronicler centers the Southern Kingdom because it carries the covenantal promise and messianic hope.
Obedience Versus Idolatry
- The chronicler presents obedience to God as the conditional path to blessing and idolatry as the road to punishment.
