Just like I & II Shemuel (Eng., Samuel) and I & II Melechim (Eng. Kings) were one book instead of two, so it was
with I & II Chronicles (so named by Jerome), which in Hebrew was called Dibre HaYamim (Eng., the words of the days). In the Hebrew Scriptures, it is placed at the end of the Tenakh because it is a summary of the Tenak beginning with genealogies that go all the way back to Adam and end up with the exile of the Northern Kingdom into Assyria and Northwesterly into Europe. Eventually the Southern Kingdom is taken into Babylon because the nation of Yisrael had turned away from Yahuweh to worship foreign gods and to practice abominations that turned Yahuweh away from Yisrael. Whereas the Kings show the history of Yisrael from a prophetic
perspective, the book of Dibre HaYamim shows it from a
priestly view point. The second volumn of Dibre HaYamim begins with Shlomo's worship in Gibeon, speaks of the construction of the Temple and the bringing of the Ark of the Covenant into it. Here is a list of the kings of Yisrael from the first to the Babylonian exile: (1) Shaul, (2) Dawid, (3) Shlomo, (4) Rehoboam, (5) Abiyahu, (6) Asa, (7) Yehoshophat (Eng., Jehoshophat), (8) Ahab, (9) Yehoram (Eng., Jehoram, (10) Ahazyahu (Eng., Ahaziah), (11) Yoash (Eng., Joash), (12) Amazyahu (Eng., Amaziah), (13) Uzziyahu (Eng., Uzziah), (14) Yotham (Eng., Jotham), (15) Ahaz, (16) Hezekyahu (Eng., Hezekiah, (17) Menasseh, (18) Amnon, (19) Yosiyahu (Eng., Josiah), (20) Tsedekyahu (Eng., Zedekiah)
