1 Chronicles: The Faithfulness of God to His Word Illustrated in the Lives of the People of Judah (Biblia.com)

1 Chronicles: The Faithfulness of God to His Word Illustrated in the Lives of the People of Judah is unavailable, but you can change that!

The books of Chronicles have had a checkered past. Neglected for many years under the unfortunate name paraleipomenon or “things omitted,” meant that they occupied a subordinate position in the scriptures until the fourth century A.D. when the title “A Chronicle of the whole of Sacred History” was suggested instead. This has since been shortened to Chronicles and the rest is, literally, history. ...

This is a devotional commentary on the First Book of Chronicles; I have also written, for this series, a commentary on the Second Book of Chronicles. Both commentaries are intended for lay people and leaders of lay Bible study groups (and perhaps pastors who, after they have done research in scholarly expositions, may find a fresh perspective in these pages). The Book of Chronicles was written to encourage the Israelites who had returned to Judah after seventy years of captivity in Babylon.
