This week we’ll cross a barrier that you may not notice, so in this episode I’ll walk you through it.
After 2 Kings takes us through the fall of Jerusalem, we jump right to 1 Chronicles, and the clock restarts on the stories we’ve been reading so far. 1 Chronicles begins with a genealogy that goes all the way back to Adam (yes, Adam!) then the rest of 1 & 2 Chronicles retells the stories from 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings, but with several notable exceptions. Why? Because now they’re told as an encouragement instead of a warning.
If you want further information about the differences between the books of Samuel/Kings and the Chronicles, check out this helpful article, What is the Difference Between Samuel/Kings and Chronicles? from Stephen J Bedard.
The Bible Reading Coach podcast is designed to help anyone read through the Bible in a year. In 10-15 minutes each Friday, I’ll introduce you to the passage for the following week, including:
- What it’s about
- How to deal with challenging passages
- How the original readers saw it
- How it applies today
- And much more
After listening, take the next week to read the passage on your own. This time you’ll have a clearer understanding of it.

We debate what Jesus would say or do if he was walking the earth today. But no honest reader of the Bible can doubt he would be with people.
