Major OT Themes found in this Book: 11
Storyline: What happens in Kings and Chronicles?
To make a long story short...!
The people of Israel follow the kings. Most kings don’t follow God, and don’t listen to His prophets. So, basically, the only people listening to God are His prophets.!
Mostly bad things happen to Israel. They lose battles, the kingdom splits in half, and eventually they get wiped out by the Assyrians. Surviving Israelites are taken to the city of Babylon as slaves.
12
Storyline: Kings and Chronicles are written after the
Events of Kings and Chronicles!
• Later, they will return from this “exile” in Babylon, and will return to their burnt and barren homeland.!
• They’ll wonder what to do next; and, oh, by the way, where is God?
13
Storyline: Overlap
Kings and Chronicles have a lot of overlap: they have much of the same information!
The key difference is that they are written for two different reasons.!
Imagine the four gospels: written by four different people to four slightly different audiences. !
Here, the audiences are VERY different.
14
Theological Contribution of Kings:
• The authors of Samuel and Kings write for the people while they are in Babylon.
• They write as reminders of how they've got themselves into this predicament.
• They haven't listened to God, and as a result, they've been conquered.
• The inference is that if they DO listen to God, who is still with them, then they will be restored.
15
Theological Contribution of Kings
Kings (and Samuel) is written for the people to read while they are slaves in Babylon, and thinking, “How did we get into this mess?”!
Answer: You wanted kings, you got kings. The kings were (mostly) rotten people, and made all of YOU rotten.
16
Theological Contribution of Chronicles:
Chronicles is written after Kings. The people are returning to their homeland which is barren wasteland. Their home is burned and their cities are gone.!
The question of the day is, “What now? What happened to God?”!
Answer: “God keeps his promises, and they are still in effect.”
17
Theological Contribution of Chronicles:
• Chronicles deals with the burning issue of the day: "Is God still interested in us, and are his covenants still active, and do his promises to David still have meaning?”
• Answer: Yes. God keeps his promises, and you live under the Davidic Covenant
• You are still God’s people.
18
Main Point of Chronicles:
• Chronicles begins with Adam and stretches to the end of the captivity of God's people. !
• He is still a God of hope whose ultimate purpose will prevail in the world and in the lives of his people.
19
Main Point: Chronicles Is Histories and Insights: God is Faithful
• Histories and Insights !
• How God has kept faith with His covenant people across the centuries. !
• By selecting events that show how God has kept his promises, the author presents a beautiful doctrine of hope.
20
The key point, one more time: Kings and Chronicles have much of the same material, so why do we have both? (This is good preparation for next year, as we
look closely at how each of the four gospels is different.)
Kings was written to the people while they were slaves in Babylon. They wanted to know how they had gotten themselves into this mess. Answer: You asked for kings, you got kings, and your kings stinked.!
Chronicles was written to the people as they returned to Canaan AFTER being slaves in Babylon. They wanted to know where God would be in their new lives. Answer: God keeps his promises, and will return to you.

WHEN TO TURN HERE
?
25
LUTHER SAYS:
[Elijah] seems to be foolish [when he kills 800 people]; but it shows great understanding and is very helpful, because it is recorded for the comfort of the churches in order that we may know how merciful God is.... LSB 526!
I Kings 19:1-3!
Elijah kills, but does it for God. Luther praises Elijah for following God.
26
MR. MARTIN SAYS:
Elijah and Elisha are two prophets who work during the time of the kings.
27
LIFE LESSONS FROM I KINGS
The people in I Kings were given a fiery demonstration of God’s power, and proof of his existence. !
We weren’t there. How do we know God’s power, and how do we find proof of his existence.!
Shoot for 200 words. 150 is good. 99 is unacceptable.
28
ACTIVITIES
Pick a king and tell about him (or queen).
