    2 Chronicles 1:1 1 2 Chronicles 1:10 The Second Book of the Chronicles 1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.* 6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. 7 ¶ In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. 9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.† 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that * 1.5 he put: or, was there † 1.9 like…: Heb.

    Friday, August 19, 2016 Forces 2 Chronicles 14-15 August 15-20, 2016 The LORD struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah. The Cushites fled, and Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. Such a great number of Cushites fell that they could not recover; they were crushed before the LORD and his forces. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of plunder. 2 Chronicles 14:12-13 Once again, the chronicler makes it clear that the line of David continues to seek the LORD. It is Asa who sits on the throne of David and it is Asa who is following the plans of God and ridding the nation of worthless and detestable things. People of Israel hear about this and come over to Asa because they see the LORD is with Him (15:9). The LORD strikes down the Cushite—five-hundred-and-eighty thousand men (and God) against one million men. The Cushites have no idea how terribly outnumbered they really are. This is a victory for Asa, as king of Judah, but it is clear that the victory has come at the hand of the LORD. Asa sought the LORD and declared that they were going against the vast army in the name of the LORD (14:11). It was God Judah was fighting for and God the Cushites were fighting against. The phrase that sticks out to me is this: “they were crushed before the LORD and his forces.” On this day, the army of Asa was the army of God.

  • 2 Chronicles
    YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE 2 Chronicles BOB UTLEY PROFESSOR OF HERMENEUTICS (BIBLE INTERPRETATION) STUDY GUIDE COMMENTARY SERIES OLD TESTAMENT VOL. 7B BIBLE LESSONS INTERNATIONAL MARSHALL, TEXAS 2017 INTRODUCTION TO 1 AND 2 CHRONICLES I. NAME OF THE BOOK A. The name of the book in Hebrew is “the words (events) of the days (years).” This is used in the sense of “a chronicle of the years.” These same words occur in the title of several books mentioned as written sources in 1 Kings 14:19,29; 15:7,23,31; 16:5,14,20,27; 22:46. The phrase itself is used over thirty times in 1 and 2 Kings and is usually translated “chronicles.” B. The LXX entitled it “the things omitted (concerning the Kings of Judah).” This implies that Chronicles is to Samuel and Kings what the Gospel of John is to the Synoptic Gospels. See How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth, by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart, pp. 127-148. As the Gospel writers under inspiration (see Special Topic: Inspiration) had the right to select, adapt, and arrange the life of Jesus (not invent actions or words), so too, the inspired authors of OT narratives (see Expository Hermeneutics: An Introduction, by Elliott E. Johnson, p. 169). This selection, adaptation, and chronological/thematic arrangement of words/events was to convey theological truth. History is used as a servant of theology. Chronicles has suffered, much as the Gospel of Mark did. They were both seen as “Readers Digest” summaries and not “a full history.” This is unfortunate! Both have an inspired message.

Retire The Reign of King Asa 2 Chronicles 14-16 7 Qualities of a God-fearing man King Asa 1. Light in the midst of darkness (c14) 2. Responding to God’s Word with zeal 3. Beginning well, Continuing well, Ending well Was King Abijah a good or evil king? The 2 Chron 13 account sees him fighting against King Jeroboam and declaring God has anointed Judah as the chosen lineage of David. And even though they were outnumbered 2x (400k vs 800k men) and Jeroboam had a sneak attack yet God aided Abijah. Yet in 1 Kings 15 it is said that he committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God. What King Rehoboam (his grandfather did) abandoned the law of the Lord unfaithful to the Lord He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the Lord. King Asa’s light could be seen (it was “different”) (2 Chronicles 14:2-3) 2 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God. 3 He removed the foreign altars and the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. 4 He commanded Judah to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, and to obey his laws and commands. 5 He removed the high places and incense altars in every town in Judah, and the kingdom was at peace under him.

  • Eschatology in Chronicles
    Tyndale Bulletin 28 (1977) 115-154. THE TYNDALE OLD TESTAMENT LECTURE, 1977* ESCHATOLOGY IN CHRONICLES By H. G. M. WILLIAMSON Introduction The title of this lecture requires a rather careful explanation of both its main elements. The word "eschatology" has been deliberately chosen because of its appearance in the title of an influential book by O. Plöger, translated into English as Theocracy and Eschatology.1 Stated very briefly, Plöger's thesis is that in the post-exilic community centred on Jerusalem there arose during the Persian and Hellenistic periods a sharp tension in which "the various attitudes to the eschatological question may be regarded as the decisive point of difference" (p. 46). On the one hand, Plöger finds evidence in a number of texts, principally Isaiah 24-7, Zechariah 12-14 and Joel, for a strongly eschatological faith which over the years developed the hopes of the earlier restoration prophecies into the apocalyptic expectations of the Hasidim of Maccabean times, expressed particularly in the book of Daniel. Quite opposed to these groups stood a theocratic party whose adherents believed that the purposes of God were realized in the present community to such an extent that there was little if any place for eschatological expectation. In seeking to establish his case, Plöger argues that "the non- eschatological view of the Chronicler . represents the official line within the theocracy" (p. 111). In Old Testament scholarship, "eschatology" is used in a * Delivered at Tyndale House, Cambridge, 15th July, 1977. 1 Blackwell, Oxford (1968), translated by S.

  • 1 Chronicles 2 Chronicles
    Notes & Outlines 1 CHRONICLES 2 CHRONICLES Dr. J. Vernon McGee 1 & 2 CHRONICLES The ACTS of the Old Testament WRITER: Probably Ezra. There is a striking resemblance in style and language to the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Evidently Chronicles was written during the Babylonian captivity. It could have been a compilation, assembled by Ezra, of diaries and journals of the priests and prophets. These two Books of Chronicles not only constituted one book in the original, but apparently also included Ezra and Nehemiah. This lends support to the authorship of Ezra and supports the Jewish tradition. Scholars have noted a similarity in the Hebrew of all four books. COMMENT: Many treat Chronicles and Kings as if they were “Cabbages and Kings.” Are the Chronicles a duplication of Kings? Although they cover the same ground from Saul to Zedekiah, they are not duplications. Greek translators gave Chronicles the title of “Things Omitted” — there is more here that does not occur in the other historical books. This is another instance of the law of recur- rence or recapitulation, seen previously in Genesis 2 and Deuteron- omy, by which God goes over previously covered ground in order to add details and emphasize that which He considers important. This is exactly the case in Chronicles. David is the subject of 1 Chronicles; the house of David is prominent in 2 Chronicles. Chronicles gives the history of Judah while practically ignoring the northern kingdom. Chronicles does not record David’s sin — when God forgives, He forgets. The temple and Jerusalem are prominent in Chronicles.

  • 2 Chronicles 17:1-6 N Otes 1 Jehoshaphat His Son Reigned in His Place and Strengthened Himself Against Israel
    SESSION 6 LEAVE A LEGACY The Point Godly living impacts future generations. The Passage 2 Chronicles 17:1-13 The Bible Meets Life We experience many of our greatest freedoms today because someone was willing to step out and do something that changed the world. We call those people legacy builders. Sir Nicholas Winton was a legacy builder. In 1938, Hitler ordered his troops to march into Czechoslovakia. Word was already spreading that the Germans were mistreating Jews, and Winton chose to do something. Even as he continued his job as a stockbroker, Winton began raising money to fund the transport of Jewish children out of Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia and Poland. Because of his efforts, 669 children escaped what would have been death in prison camps.10 Vera Diamant Gissing, one of the children rescued, pointed to his legacy. She said Winton did far more than save one generation; because he saved the lives of these 669 children, he also ultimately saved the lives of their children and grandchildren. Talk about leaving a legacy! King Asa was another man who also left a legacy. In his life, we see a man who impacted the generations that followed him. The Setting The death of King Asa brought sadness to the Southern Kingdom of Judah. He had been the king of Judah for forty-one years. For many if not most of the people, Asa had been the only king they had ever known. The people loved him, as evidenced by the honors given to Asa at his death (2 Chron. 16:14).
