1 AND 2 CHRONICLES

 

Gives us the history of the family of David - ending, of course, like the former, with the Babylonish captivity.

 

1 Chronicles is David himself. At the close, David has the pattern of everything by the Spirit, and leaves it to Solomon to execute.

 

2 Chronicles is David's posterity.

 

Chronicles are more connected with the establishment of the kingdom on earth, Kings more figurative of what is heavenly. In the temple in Chronicles there is a veil (2 Chron. 3: 14), in Kings not. The veil will not be rent for Israel in the millennium.
