2 Chronicles

The book of 2 Chronicles begins with Solomon's reign, where he strengthened his kingdom and built the temple, and was granted wisdom by God. After Solomon's death, the kingdom was divided, and the book follows the kings of Judah, detailing their actions, both good and evil. Many kings did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, while others did evil and were punished. The book highlights the prophets who spoke out against the kings' actions, calling them to repentance. Ultimately, the book concludes with the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by the Chaldeans, and the people being taken captive to Babylon.
