Did you know?

The first nine chapters are genealogies — from Adam onward. We could pull daily blanks from them. We are not that cruel. Mostly.

Chronicles retells the story of Samuel and Kings, but through a priest's eyes: more temple, more worship, and David's sins largely left in the archive.

1 Chronicles 16 preserves the psalm David handed the choir the day the ark entered Jerusalem — pieces of it appear in Psalms 96, 105, and 106.

In Hebrew Bibles, Chronicles is the final book — meaning the Old Testament ends not with a prophet's warning but with a call to go up and build.
