AGAPE BIBLE COLLEGE 321 North Penelope, Belton, TX 76513 FIRST AND SECOND CHRONICLES Curriculum Provided by: Harvestime International Network http://harvestime.org 0 FIRST AND SECOND CHRONICLES THE LEGACY BIBLE OUTLINE SERIES 0 8 Harvestime International Network http://www.harvestime.org THE LEGACY BIBLE OUTLINE SERIES The Legacy Bible Outline Series is a study of the Bible using the text of the Bible itself. The series outlines books of the Bible in simple format, providing commentary only as needed to enhance understanding. Text-based questions are also included for every chapter. We suggest you create a notebook for each book of the Bible. Insert the outlines in your notebooks and add your own study notes. Each time you study a book, you can easily append the outlines to continuously expand the materials. The Legacy Bible Outline Series is designed so you can easily personalize it. The files for the series are in MS Word format to enable you to revise, input your own notes, change page numbers, and alter the layout as needed. You can also create your own outlines for other books of the Bible using this format The text of the King James Version is included in The Legacy Bible Outline Series to enable you to underline and make notes in the actual text as part of your study. Unlike a Bible which will eventually wear out, you can photocopy worn pages if they need to be replaced--which means you won’t lose your notes and underlining. Be sure to read the text in other versions of the Bible also, as different translations will greatly enhance your study. You can print copies of the outlines for your students or--a more cost-effective method--copy the files to a flash drive and let each student print out their own outlines. If you want students to have only the study questions and not the outlines, then copy the questions to a separate file and print them out for distribution. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line… (Isaiah 28:10, KJV) ...His word burns in my heart like a fire. It's like a fire in my bones!...

Possibly Ezra. TO WHOM: Israel but also written to all generations of believers: Romans 15:4 and 1 Corinthians 10:11. PURPOSE: The Chronicles were written to the Jews who returned to Judah following the fall of Babylon where they had been in exile as judgment for their sins. The books reviewed Israel's history and emphasized God's faithfulness and the importance of worship. KEY VERSES: Thine, oh Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, oh Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. (1 Chronicles 29:11) LIFE AND MINISTRY PRINCIPLE: When God is exalted His people are blessed. MAIN CHARACTERS: King David, Solomon. A BRIEF OUTLINE: I. Genealogies: 1-9. -Adam to Isaac's sons. 1:1-54. -The tribe of Judah: 2:3-4:23. -The eleven tribes: 4:24-8:40. -Heads of families in Jerusalem: 9. II. The reign of King David: 10-29. GENEALOGIES: In Chronicles, as well as other places in the Old Testament, there are long lists of names recording genealogies. These lists may not seem as interesting as other parts of the Bible, but each name and every list was included by the Holy Spirit for a purpose. The Bible states that: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Here are some reasons why these lists are included. -These lists, many of which are confirmed by secular history, verify the reliability of the Bible. -Genealogical heritage was important in determining who could serve in certain God-ordained 4 positions. For example, only those from the Levite tribe of Israel were permitted to perform certain duties in the Tabernacle. Only the descendants of Aaron could serve as high priest. -The genealogies also prove the accuracy of Bible prophecies. One of the greatest examples is that Jesus would be from the tribe of Judah and a descendent of both Abraham and David. -These lists also teach how God has used different people in His plan, despite their faults and failures. An example is the brief account of Jabez embedded in a long list of names in 1 Chronicles 4. REPETITIONS: Although there is much similar material in the books of 2 Samuel, the Kings, and the Chronicles, each book is written to accomplish a specific purpose. The books of 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings present the political history of both Israel and Judah. In 1 and 2 Chronicles a detailed religious history of Judah is presented. The books of 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings focus on the rulers and prophets of the period. The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles focus on the priests and the temple. The books of the Kings are written from man's viewpoint, while the books of Chronicles are written from God's viewpoint. As you study these books, look for the differing emphases of the repeated material. In a sense, the Chronicles are a commentary relating back to the times of Samuel and the Kings. The story of Israel's sacred history is retold to the Jews returning from exile. QUESTIONS ON THE INTRODUCTION: 1. Who wrote the book? 2. To whom is the book written? 3. What is the purpose of the book? 4. What is the key verse? 5. What is the life and ministry principle of this book? 6. Who are the main characters? 7. Give a brief outline of the book. 8. What are some reasons for the genealogical records in the Bible? 9. Explain the reason for the repetitions in the books of 2 Samuel, Kings, and the Chronicles. (It is suggested that you read 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, and 1 and 2 Chronicles in sequential order, as each book relates to the previous ones. Note that like the two books of Samuel and Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles were also originally one book. A question that often arises regarding Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles is why so many wars are fought by God's people. It is important to understand that these were not jihads staged by some oppressive religion trying to take control. They were used by God to execute judgment on evil nations that had been given repeated opportunities to repent, but not done so. As New Testament believers, we are not called to do this. God will dispense divine judgment at the end of the ages: Romans 12:19.) 5 OUTLINE OF THE BOOK OF FIRST CHRONICLES 1 Chronicles 1 1 Adam, Sheth, Enosh, 2 Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jered, 3 Henoch, Methuselah, Lamech, 4 Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 5 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 6 And the sons of Gomer; Ashchenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 7 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 8 The sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 9 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raamah, and Sabtecha.

    Nehemiah – Lesson Eight – Nehemiah 11-12 Introduction The wall was finished, the gates were set firmly in place, and the watchmen signaled the coming and going of tradesmen from well beyond their borders. With all this in place, it would seem that personal sacrifice and risk-taking was greatly reduced for the Israelites. Yet, one more opportunity would test their resolve. When the call came to repopulate the holy city, to come and live within the walls, it was met with resistance. What caused these chosen, set- apart people of God to hesitate in taking their rightful place in his holy city? Before you cast your first stone, consider your own excuse. What is keeping you from being all in with God? What fears or personal preferences are testing your resolve as one who has been chosen for a life of worship and obedience to holy living? As you study this lesson, ask the Holy Spirit to renew your desire to establish your claim in God’s place of blessing, and to be listed among those who will one day joyfully receive the words of the King, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” Please note: Questions are based on the New International Version of the Bible.

    King David's Double Recognition at Hebron According to Josephus

    RCatT XXXI/2 (2006) 269-281 © Facultat de Teologia de Catalunya KING DAVID’S DOUBLE RECOGNITION AT HEBRON ACCORDING TO JOSEPHUS Christopher BEGG 1. Introduction 2 Sam 5,1-3 and 1 Chr 11,1-3 tell a largely similar story of David’s recogni- tion as king by a group of Israelites at Hebron. Whereas this is the only such happening in Samuel, the Chronicler goes on, after an extended interlude (11,4– 12,22) dealing with other matters,1 to relate a similar such happening in 12,23- 40. Josephus too, in his Antiquitates judaicae (hereafter Ant. 7.53-60)2 narrates a two-stage pan-Israelite acclamation of David’s kingship at Hebron. In contrast to the Chronicler, however, the historian recounts the two moments of the king’s recognition back-to-back, just as his presentation of both moments evidences numerous differences vis-à-vis the biblical account(s). In this essay then I wish to focus on the Josephan version of David’s encounters with the Israelites who come to him at Hebron. More specifically, my study will address several wider questions: (1) In recounting the initial Hebron happening did Josephus draw on both (slightly different) accounts in 2 Sam 5,1-3 and 1 Chr 11,1-3 or rather did he limit himself to one of these to the exclusion of the other? (2) Can anything be ascertained about the text-form(s) of 2 Sam 5,1-3 and/or 1 Chr 11,1-3; 12,23- 40 used by Josephus? And (3) What sort of rewriting techniques has Josephus 1.

JONKER (U NIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH ) ABSTRACT It is well-known among biblical scholars and other Bible readers that the Chronicler’s presentation of King Saul of Israel differs sig- nificantly from the version in 1 Samuel. Many studies have been conducted on this and commentators normally dedicate extensive space to the peculiarity. In line with Knoppers’s suggestions of how to approach this peculiarity, this article will investigate whether it could benefit our discussion of the Chronicler’s portrayal of King Saul if the perspective of identity formation forms our interpretative key.

    THE AARONIC PRIESTHOOD EXODUS 28:1 Man has an inherent knowledge of God (Rom. 1:18-32) and sinfulness (Rom. 2:14-15) and it seems every religion has some sort of priesthood to repre- sent man to God. In the case of Judaism, it was the Aaronic Priesthood. Romans 1:18–19 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteous- ness, 19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. Romans 2:14–15 14For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bear- ing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, In Exodus 27:21, we noted the first hint of the appointment of Aaron and his sons to be the priests of Yahweh. In Exodus 28:1, the appointment was offi- cially proclaimed. Exodus 28:1 1“Then bring near to yourself Aaron your brother, and his sons with ,to Me—Aaron [כָּהַן] him, from among the sons of Israel, to minister as priest Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons. and it refers to the כֹּהֵן is not the word for priest; that word is כָּהַן The word means to ,כָּהַן ,position of priest as mediator between God and man. This word act or to serve as a priest, hence, the NASB translates it to “minister as priest.” One is the noun and one is the verb.

    Chronicles-11-Davids-Mighty-Men

    1 Chronicles 11:1-25 “11 Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron and said, ‘Behold, we are your bone and flesh. 2 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’ 3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. 4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, ‘You will not come in here.’ Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David. 6 David said, ‘Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.’ And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. 7 And David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. 8 And he built the city all around from the Millo in complete circuit, and Joab repaired the rest of the city. 9 And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.
