"The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles cover the same period of time as 2 Samuel to 2 Kings, and give us an extensive list of family names.

"The descent of a nation is not pretty. In 2 Kings 17 we read that the kings of Israel had turned the people against the LORD and taught them to worship incorrectly. This is the main reason that the nation of Israel descended into sin and rebellion. The LORD is always moving in the world to let p...
