Read  |    Sunday | April 12 | 1 Chronicles 9:35-39 | 1 Samuel 13:1-5, 19-22, 6-18 | 1 Samuel 13:23 – 14:52 Date  | 1050 B.C. - King Saul (Israel) Background |  Like the books of Samuel and Kings, Chronicles was originally one book that was divided into two by those who translated the original Hebrew manuscripts into Greek (the Septuagint). Chronicles is a history of Israel’s monarchy, much like the books of Samuel through Kings. The fact that Chronicles comes right after 2 Kings, however, is unfortunate. For many readers there hardly seems to be any sense in reading the long books of Samuel/Kings and then continuing right along and reading “the same thing” in Chronicles. But Chronicles is not merely a repetition of Samuel/Kings; rather, it tells Israel’s story very differently.
