Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing a game of telephone, where you tell a story to your friend, who tells it to another friend, and so on. Here, we have a family story that was passed down from grandpa Shimea to dad Haggiah, and then to son Asaiah.
Historical Background
1 Chronicles was written by an unknown author, possibly a priest or a scribe, after the Babylonian exile, around 400 BC. The audience was the returning exiles, and the purpose was to remind them of their heritage and the importance of the temple and its service.
