역사적 배경
2 Chronicles was written by the Chronicler, likely a priest or a scribe, after the Babylonian exile, around the 5th century BCE. The Chronicler wrote to encourage the returned exiles to follow God faithfully. The Assyrian king, Tilgathpilneser, was a real historical figure who indeed attacked Judah.
