If you’ve ever read 1–2 Chronicles and felt like you were rereading Samuel and Kings — well, you kind of are. But that’s the point.

Chronicles retells Israel’s story, but with a surprising twist: the Chronicler deliberately reshapes details to offer a different theological emphasis. He skips some of the worst failures and zooms in on what really matters to his audience — the temple, the Davidic line, and hope for restoration after exile.

It’s not just a rerun. It’s a retelling.

And the changes? They’re loaded with meaning.

In this week’s video, we walk through the structure of 1–2 Chronicles and highlight key differences from Samuel and Kings — so you can see the Chronicler’s purpose more clearly than ever before.
