Historical Background
The book of 2 Chronicles was written after the Babylonian exile, likely between 538 and 458 B.C., by an unknown author. The text was written for the returned exiles to help them understand their history and reaffirm their faith in God's promises.
Living It Out Today
In modern life, think about a time when someone promised to do something for you and they kept that promise. Maybe a friend promised to help you study and they did. Just like Solomon, you can feel gratitude and praise God for keeping promises, just as he did with David.
