  Books of Chronicles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The time of the composition of the Chronicles is believed to have been subsequent to the Babylonian Captivity, probably between 450 and 435 B.C. The contents of this twofold book, both as to matter and form, correspond closely with this idea.
The Chronicles, on the other hand, were written much later, after the restitution of the Jewish community in Palestine, at a time when the kingdoms were beginning to be regarded as the nostalgic, rosy-coloured past, something to be at least partially imitated, not something to be avoided.
The Books of Chronicles are ranked among the Kethubim, the third section of the Tanach, and they usually occupy the final position in Hebrew bibles, although some Hebrew bibles place Chronicles at the first of the Kethubim.

The chronicler was not blind to the confused and convoluted state of affairs found in the earlier Biblical manuscripts.
Chronicles was one of the last books written, and probably was an attempt by the priests to set things straight.
The Chronicler had an agenda as well, upgrading this king and downgrading another, as just one example, and this has to be kept in mind when reading his work.

The NIV Application commentary 1 and 2 Chronicles applies the books to today's culture by bringing the lenses of historical awareness, literary appreciation, and a biblical-theological perspective to bear on the Chronicler's sermons.
The Chronicles are more than a history of ancient Israel under the ascent and rule of the Davidic dynasty.
First and Second Chronicles are a narrative steeped in the best and worst of the human heart—but they are also a revelation of Yahweh at work, forwarding his purposes in the midst of fallible people.

 Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible [First Chronicles: Introduction].
These books of Chronicles are in a great measure repetition; so are much of the second and third of the four evangelists: and yet there are no tautologies either here or there no vain repetitions.
It might be of great use to those who lived when these books were first published, before the canon of the Old Testament was completed and the particles of it put together; for it would remind them of what was more fully related in the other books.
The reigns of kings and dates of kingdoms, as well as the lives of common persons, are reckoned by days; for a little time often gives a great turn, and yet all time is nothing to eternity.

This period can be divided into three sections (1) The end of the rule of the judges; Eli and Samuel’s leadership; (2) The United Kingdom with Saul, David, and Solomon each ruling for 40 years; (3) The Divided Kingdom.
It is clear from reading First Chronicles that the author had two purposes in mind for writing: (1) To provide a history of God’s people showing they had gone into captivity; (2) To give the family records so that families returning from Babylon could claim their land.
Second Chronicles begins with the glory of Solomon’s rule and ends with the decree of Cyrus which permitted the Jews to return from captivity.

 USCCB - NAB - 1chronicles - Introduction
Unlike the exact science of history today, wherein factual accuracy and impartiality of judgment are the standards for estimating what is of permanent worth, ancient biblical history, with rare exceptions, was less concerned with reporting in precise detail all the facts of a situation than with explaining the meaning of those facts.
The Chronicler proposed to establish and defend the legitimate claims of the Davidic monarchy in Israel's history, and to underscore the place of Jerusalem and its divinely established temple worship as the center of religious life for the Jewish community of his day.
From the Chronicler's point of view, David's reign was the ideal to which all subsequent rule in Judah must aspire.

 The Book of 1-2 Chronicles
The genealogy in 1 Chronicles 3:17-24, which lists the descendants of Jehoiachin (Jeconiah) seems to cover six generations from the exile, which would take the book down to about 400 BC, as the earliest date for its completion.
The story of Chronicles is continued in Ezra-Nehemiah, and in fact 2 Chronicles 36:22-23 is virtually identical to Ezra 1:1-3a.
Chronicles has been regarded as a poorer history that Samuel-Kings because of its concentration on ecclesiastical rather than political affairs, although such a conclusion says more about the bias of modern critics than expressing a genuine problem with Chronicles.

The first nine chapters of First Chronicles are good examples of the "endless genealogies" that Paul tells us to avoid (see 1 Tim.1:4 and Tit.3:9).
Wearisome as these chapters are, the rest of the book isn't much better.
Consequently, First Chronicles is probably the most boring book in the Bible -- maybe the most boring book in all of literature.

For all the small revelations (it turns out he's been a big fan of Barry Goldwater, Mickey Rourke, and Ice-T), there are eye-opening disclosures, including his confession that a large portion of his recorded output was designed to alienate his audience and free him from the burden of being a "the voice of a generation."
Though a "Chronicle" is a "chronological record of events", Dylan does not restrict himself to that simple approach to writing.
