Read my other reviews of these volumes for the explanation of my five stars.
This volume contains the Chronicles, divided into two books by previous translators, but presented in this one volume.
The first 10 chapters are genealogy leading up to King David’s reign of the united kingdom in chapter 11. The golden reign of David's son, Solomon, begins in chapter 29 of Chronicles 1.
The second Chronicles begins with Solomon as king of the united kingdom of Israel and the first 9 chapters detail the magnificence of his reign. Yet, unfortunately, Solomon's heart was led astray by his acquisition of many wives through alliances with pagan nations and other. Sadly, this began the demise that would lead to Solomon's son, Rehoboam, next in line for the kingdom, to cause a revolt resulting in the divided kingdom of Judah. Jerusalem remained in Judah as the capital, and Israel's capital became Samaria. The division took place during the 900's b.c. The tribes of Judah and Benjamin composed the kingdom of Judah, with the other ten tribes making up Israel.
The remainder of the book recounts the history of the kings of Judah with references to the kings of Israel and their interactions with Judah which were mostly hostile. These references can cause confusion for the reader since the names of the kings are often similar or sometimes the same, though separated by generations.
The book ends on a tragic note, as Judah is taken captive by Babylon, under their king, Nebuchadnezzar. (The Babylonians are sometimes referenced as the Chaldeans.)
There is one mention, at the ending, of the king of Persia, which overtook the Babylonian empire and granted Judah reprieve from captivity after 70 years under Babylonia.
The book contains historical accounts that can serve as metaphorical warnings and promises for Christ followers of today, good vs. evil and the unchangeable nature of God.
Read it with an open mind and a general understanding of the context and calling out of a people of God.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Starts out rough talking about genealogies. Then the stories start back up and it's difficult to remember everything from Kings. I don't know why the stories cannot be combined in the same book. Seems unnecessary to separate everything.

Useful for sermon notes and one's own commentary, or selections from commentaries by others. Fortunately, many helpful commentaries on Chronicles have been published in the last couple of decades.

No amount of power or wealth can save. Jesus is the only perfect sacrifice to save us from our wicked, prideful, and sinful ways.
