• We enter upon the history of the kings of Israel. That of the kings of Judah does not enter into our account except to explain certain events or to give the context, except that at the end of 2 Kings the independent history of the kings of Judah is traced to its end. In contrast, the 2 Chronicles gives us the history of the kings of Judah from the special point of view that characterizes this book. (“Jeroboam and His Policies: 1 Kings 12:25:33” by H.L. Rossier)
