Scofield Reference Bible Notes of 1917 By C. I. Scofield
2 Chronicles
This book continues the history begun
in First Chronicles. It falls into eighteen divisions, by reigns, from Solomon
to the captivities; records the division of the kingdom of David under Jeroboam
and Rehoboam, and is marked by an ever growing apostasy, broken temporarily
by reformations under Asa, 14-16; Jehoshaphat, 17:1-19; Joash, 24; Hezekiah,
29-32; and Josiah, 34,35. But the religious state of the people, even at the
best, is described in Isaiah 1-5.
The events recorded in Second Chronicles
cover a period of 427 years. (Ussher).
