The Book of 2 Chronicles
The book of 2nd Chronicles is a Narrative History.
The author appears to be the prophet Ezra who wrote it circa 430 B.C.
It covers the events from the beginning from King Solomon’s reign in 970 B.C. up to the beginning of the Babylonian captivity in 586 B.C.
A cursory look at the key personalities:
King Solomon:
Solomon was the third and final king of the unified nation of Israel, succeeding King Saul and King David.
He was the son of David and Bathsheba, the former wife of Uriah the Hittite whom David had killed to cover his infidelity with Bathsheba while her husband was on the battlefront.
Solomon wrote the Song of Solomon, the book of Ecclesiastes, and much of the book of Proverbs.
His writing of Ecclesiastes is disputed by some, but Solomon is the only “son of David” to be “king over Israel in Jerusalem” (Ecclesiastes 1:1-12), and many of the descriptions of the author fit Solomon well.
Solomon ruled for 40 years (1 Kings 11:42).
The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon
1 Kings 10:1-13 (NIV)
10 When the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon and his relationship to the Lord, she came to test Solomon with hard questions.
2 Arriving at Jerusalem with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all that she had on her mind.
3 Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her.
4 When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon and the palace he had built,
5 the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he made at[a] the temple of the Lord, she was overwhelmed.
6 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true.
7 But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes.
Indeed, not even half was told me; in wisdom and wealth you have far exceeded the report I heard.
8 How happy your people must be!
How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!
9 Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel.
