2 Chr Intro:15–29

Introduction

The Second Chronicles account is the continuation of First Chronicles account (and they’re considered as just one account in the book form of the Hebrew Scriptures, the TaNaK). This document includes the account of Shelomoh (Solomon) becoming king, then the rebellion of the northern tribes against his son Rehav’am becoming king. That rebellion was led by Yarov’am (Jeroboam) and resulted in the split between the northern kingdom (called ‘Yisrael/Israel’ or sometimes ‘Efrayim/Ephraim’) and the southern kingdom (called ‘Yehudah/Judah’ and consisting mostly of the Yehudah and Benyamin tribes). This document then ends with the accounts of the Yehudah (Judah) kingdom and the defeat of Yerushalem (Jerusalem) in 586 B.C.
