2 Chronicles
2 Chronicles continues the post-exilic retelling of Israel’s history, focusing exclusively on the southern kingdom of Judah and its kings. It highlights temple worship, reforms under kings like Hezekiah and Josiah, and ends with the Babylonian exile and Cyrus’s decree to rebuild the Temple. The emphasis is on faithfulness, repentance, and the centrality of worship.
