About 2 Chronicles

Second Chronicles continues the retelling, from the building and dedication of the temple to the fall of Jerusalem. It follows Judah’s kings with close attention to their treatment of worship, giving extended space to reformers such as Hezekiah and Josiah. God’s promise to hear a humbled people who pray and turn is one of its central statements, and the book ends with Cyrus’s decree permitting return.
