 Rēad to Read …Again


Daily Reading: I Chronicles 1-2

 

I Chronicles 2:15

Ozem the sixth, David the seventh:

 

The books of I and II Chronicles are considered to be “post-Exilic” meaning they were compiled after the Babylon Captivity.  The first 9 chapters of I Chronicles record the genealogies which were probably needed for a variety of issues for the returning Jews. In this genealogy David is first mentioned in today’s verse. He is the focus from chapter 11 to the end of the book, Saul is highlighted in only one chapter (10).

 

Perhaps this would be a good time for a timeline review.

 

From Creation to the Flood                                    3975-2319 BC

 

From the Flood to the Patriarchs                         2319-1967 BC

 

The time of the Patriarchs                                      1967-1606 BC

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph

 

From the Patriarchs to the Exodus from Egypt  1606–1462 BC

The Exodus/Moses

 

The Wilderness Wanderings                                  1462-1422 BC

 

From Crossing the Jordan to the kings                1422-945 BC

Saul, David, Solomon

 

The Divided Kingdom                                           945 – 722 BC

 

The fall of Israel to the fall of Judah                     722 – 586 BC

 

The Captivity (Three deportations)                      586-516 BC

 

The Restoration (Three Returns)                          516-400 BC

 

The Silent years (inter-testament period)           400-5 BC

 

These dates are highly debatable as to the exact years. This overview was prepared from many different sources. It is only given as a rough overview.
