Israel is in exile in Babylon for 70 years . Babylon (who defeated Assyria) is defeated by Persia . God moves King Cyrus to send Israelites back to Jerusalem to restore the temple and Jewish worship . In 537 BC, a remnant returns to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel as their leader to rebuild the temple. It’s completed in 516 BC. (Haggai 2:1-9). Roughly 42,000 people returned . Quiz: Which temple is modern Israel awaiting? First, second, third fourth etc.? Wave Two: . In 458 BC, Ezra is sent to Jerusalem by Artaxerxes I, king of Persia. Ezra was a priest and scribe, an expert in the law of Moses and the covenant. (Ezra 7:25-26). Another 5,000 returned with Ezra Wave Three: . Nehemiah leads a remnant back under Artexerxes to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls and infrastructure. (445 BC) . He also repopulated the city, built a governor’s house, created administrative infrastructure, and restored the city in general. Not many Jews returned to Jerusalem or to the old “Promised Land.” They chose to stay in exile. They were surrounded by enemies, namely the same old Canaanites and the Samaritans. They were a province of Persia, not an independent nation. This is a time of “identity crisis” for the Jews in the Persian Empire. .The temple was a shadow of Solomon’s glorious one. .Jerusalem was fairly uninhabited. .There was a general spiritual malaise with ignoring the covenant and intermarrying. .If they were going to succeed again or experience prosperity and peace what would they need to do? (Think about Deuteronomy and Kings.) . They needed to be linked to the past. They needed to know how to reestablish patterns of worship. They needed to remember that prosperity and wellbeing depended fully about faithfulness to God and the covenant AN ANALOGY (…AND HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!) Honey, I think we already read this part… I. 1 Chronicle 1-9 Genealogy II. No, dad. The chronicler I Chr. 10 - 2 Chr. 9 has a completely United Monarchy different agenda… III. 2 Chr. 11-36 Divided Monarchy . How far back does it go? Why is this important? . The focus is on three tribes. Can you guess which ones? . Saul gets one chapter – 1 Chr 10 – with a fitting epitaph. Ch. 11-21 describe David’s exploits . Nothing about Bathsheba and Uriah . Nothing about Absalom . It does mention the “evil census” but it has a very specific point! (Ch. 21-22) . …the evil census leads to the land purchase . David’s story and Solomon’s story overlap from Ch. 22-29, so that David can give Solomon instructions on how to build the temple. 2 Chronicles 1-9 is about Solomon. Of that, Ch. 2-7 are all about the temple. Over ½ of David's’ story and over 2/3 of Solomon’s focuses on the temple! . Notice the ending of the book – 2 Chr 36:15-23 . 10 – Israel rebels against the Rehoboam, the Davidic King and the nation splits. NO ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO THE NORTHERN KINGDOM AFTER THIS! (…unless is intersects with Judah) . 11-36 – The rest of the Davidic Kings (The Divided kingdom) . In this section note: success in battle and material prosperity are related directly to obedience to Yahweh, while failure is due to unfaithfulness or lack of trust. I Chr 22:19 29:17 2 Chr 6:38 7:10 15:12 Options 2&3: . 10-12 – Saul dies and David established . 13-15 – David brings the ark to Option 1: Jerusalem . 21-22 – The Evil Census and the 1 & 2 Chronicles 1-29, 1-36 Beginning of the Temple Project 13 chapters/day! . 28-29 – Further instructions for the temple . 2 Chr 5-7 – Solomon’s Dedication of the Temple . 14-16 – Asa’s reign . 17-21:3 – Jehoshaphat’s Reign . 29-32 – Hezekiah’s Reign . 34-35 – Josiah’s Reform [email protected].

    2 Chronicles 1:1 2 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 1 King Solomon's solemn offering at Gibeon, 2Ch_1:1-6. His choice of wisdom is blessed by God, 2Ch_1:7-12. His strength and wealth, 1Ch_1:13-17. Was strengthened, or established , after his seditious brother Adonijah and his partisans were suppressed; and he was received with the universal consent and joy of his princes and people. 2 Chronicles 1:2 Then Solomon spake, to wit, concerning his intention of going to Gibeon, and that they should attend him thither, as the next verse shows. 2 Chronicles 1:3 To the high place; upon which the tabernacle was placed; whence it is called the great high place , 1Ki_3:4. 2 Chronicles 1:4 He separated the ark from the tabernacle, and brought it to Jerusalem, because there he intended to build a far more noble and lasting habitation for it. 2 Chronicles 1:5 He put; either Moses, mentioned 2Ch_1:3, or Bezaleel, here last named, by the command and direction of Moses; or David, who may be said to put it there, because he continued it there, and did not remove it, as he did the ark from the tabernacle. Sought unto it, i.e. sought the Lord and his favour by hearty prayers and sacrifices in the place which God had appointed for that work, Lev_17:3,4. 2 Chronicles 1:6 i.e. Which altar. But that he had now said, 2Ch_1:5, and therefore would not unnecessarily repeat it. Or rather, who ; and so these words are emphatical, and contain a reason why Solomon went thither, because the Lord was there graciously present to hear prayers and receive sacrifices.

  • David's Heir: the Five Prophecies of the Davidic Covenant; Three Words in the Covenant Establishing Perpetuity of Davidic King
    David’s Heir: The Five Prophecies of the Davidic Covenant; Three Words in the Covenant Establishing Perpetuity of Davidic Kings: “House, Kingdom, Throne,” 2 Sam 7:16; Matthew’s Messianic Genealogy of Jesus: the Chart Pedigree, Matt 1:1; Uses of the Title “Messiah”: the Anointed One, Ps 18:50; 89:20, 28–29, 34–36; 132:11 16. The Lord now reveals to Nathan the eternal significance of this covenant to David: 2 Samuel 7:16 - “Your [ David’s ] house [ the Davidic bloodline ] and your kingdom [ Israel ] shall endure before Me forever [ the kingdom is permanent ]; your throne shall be established forever [ rulership of the Davidic line through Christ is eternal ]. v. 17 - In accordance with all these words and all these visions, so did Nathan communicate the Davidic Covenant to David. 17. There are five prophecies contained in the Davidic Covenant: (1) David will have a son that will succeed him on the throne of Israel and who will establish his kingdom. (2) That son will be Solomon; it is he that will build the temple. (3) The Davidic dynasty on the throne of Israel is established for eternity. (4) Even though Solomon will fail, enter reversionism, and become involved in idolatry, the covenant will not be broken but remain in force. (5) The house of David, his throne, and his kingdom are established forever. 18. The Lord uses three words in the covenant that expresses the immutability of David’s right to the throne of Israel. 19. The word “house” is ty]B^ (bayith) and it refers to the dynasty of a monarch, in this case the house of David.

  • The Authority of Scripture: the Puzzle of the Genealogies of Jesus Mako A
    The Authority of Scripture: The Puzzle of the Genealogies of Jesus Mako A. Nagasawa, June 2005 Four Main Differences in the Genealogies Provided by Matthew and Luke 1. Is Jesus descended through the line of Solomon (Mt) or the line of Nathan (Lk)? Or both? 2. Are there 27 people from David to Jesus (Mt) or 42 (Lk)? 3. Who was Joseph’s father? Jacob (Mt) or Heli (Lk)? 4. What is the lineage of Shealtiel and Zerubbabel? a. Are they the same father-son pair in Mt as in Lk? (Apparently popular father-son names were repeated across families – as with Jacob and Joseph in Matthew’s genealogy) If not, then no problem. I will, for purposes of this discussion, assume that they are not the same father-son pair. b. If so, then there is another problem: i. Who was Shealtiel’s father? Jeconiah (Mt) or Neri (Lk)? ii. Who was Zerubbabel’s son? Abihud (Mt) or Rhesa (Lk)? And where are these two in the list of 1 Chronicles 3:19-20 ( 19b the sons of Zerubbabel were Meshullam and Hananiah, and Shelomith was their sister; 20 and Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah and Jushab-hesed, five)? Cultural Factors 1. Simple remarriage. It is likely that in most marriages, men were older and women were younger (e.g. Joseph and Mary). So it is also likely that when husbands died, many women remarried. This was true in ancient times: Boaz married the widow Ruth, David married the widow Bathsheba after Uriah was killed. It also seems likely to have been true in classical, 1 st century times: Paul (in Rom.7:1-3) suggests that this is at least somewhat common in the Jewish community (‘I speak to those under the Law’ he says) in the 1 st century.

  • Athaliah, a Treacherous Queen: a Careful Analysis of Her Story in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21
    Athaliah, a treacherous queen: A careful analysis of her story in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21 Robin Gallaher Branch School of Biblical Sciences & Bible Languages Potchefstroom Campus North-West University POTCHEFSTROOM E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Athaliah, a treacherous queen: A careful analysis of her story in 2 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles 22:10-23:21 This article presents a critical look at the story of the reign of Athaliah, the only ruling queen of Israel or Judah in the biblical text. Double reference in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles shows her story’s importance and significance to the biblical writers. The largely parallel accounts read like a contemporary soap opera, for they contain murder, intrigue, harem politics, religious upheaval, and coup and counter-coup. Her story provides insights on the turbulent political climate of the ninth century BC. However, the purpose of the biblical writers is not to show Athaliah as the epitome of evil or that all women in power are evil. Opsomming Atalia, ’n verraderlike koningin: ’n noukeurige analise van haar verhaal in 2 Konings 11 en 2 Kronieke 22:10-23:21 In hierdie artikel word die verhaal van Atalia krities nagegaan. Atalia was naamlik die enigste koninging van Israel of Juda wie se regeringstyd in die Bybelteks verhaal word. Die dubbele verwysings na hierdie tyd in 2 Konings en 2 Kronieke dui op die belangrikheid en betekenis van haar verhaal vir die Bybel- skrywers. Die twee weergawes wat grotendeels parallelle weer- gawes is, lees byna soos ’n hedendaagse sepie, want hierdie verhale sluit elemente in soos moord, intrige, harempolitiek, godsdiensopstand, staatsgreep en kontrastaatsgreep.

  • Solomon, the Wise King Scripture: 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; 1 Kings 3:7-15
    5 Scripture: 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; 1 Kings 3:7-15 The Wise King Track 28 The young King Solomon stood up before all the important grown-ups in Israel. He started to talk, but they stopped him with their questions: “When will you “How will you keep start building peace in the land “Will you be a good God’s temple?” of Israel?” king, just like your father, David, was?” 1 of 6 © 2009 Awana® Clubs International 5 Scripture: 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; 1 Kings 3:7-15 Solomon looked at all the faces before him. There were more faces than he could ever count! Suddenly, he felt very small. He didn’t know the answers to any of their questions. He didn’t know how to be a king. Oh, if only his father, King David, were still alive to tell him what to do! Then Solomon had an idea. He said to the people, “Let’s go to Gibeon and worship the Lord at His special tent, the tabernacle.” At the tabernacle, Solomon and all the people prayed to the Lord. Solomon gave a thousand of his best animals to the Lord as an offering. © 2009 Awana® Clubs International 5 Scripture: 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; 1 Kings 3:7-15 That night, while Solomon slept, God came to him in a dream. God said He would give Solomon whatever he asked for. Right away, Solomon knew what he wanted. He said, “Lord, you have loved my father, David. You have chosen me to take his job as king.

Fred Smith The apocalyptic kingdom of God is a common theme in Second Temple Jewish literature. This kingdom is often presented differently in the various literary works of this era. This first chapter of this thesis considers the various aspects of the kingdom in relation to God’s coming judgment and the coming messiah who is often seen as the one bringing judgment and setting up the kingdom of God. The second chapter elaborates upon Jesus’ teachings about the apocalyptic kingdom of God and compares and contrasts them with the teachings of the kingdom in His day as understood through the Second Temple Jewish literature.
