THE SECOND BOOK OF
CHRONICLES
INTRODUCTION
The Second Book of Chronicles begins where 1 Chronicles ends, starting with the account of the rule of King Solomon until his death. After recording the revolt of the northern tribes led by Jeroboam against Rehoboam, King Solomon's son and successor, the account confines itself to the history of the southern kingdom of Judah until the fall of Jerusalem in 586 bc.
