Reading the Bible Daily with Dave – 2 Chronicles

Golden light and cloud of glory filling Solomon’s temple, symbolizing God’s presence and covenant faithfulness in 2 Chronicles.

2 Chronicles: The Glory of God, the Failure of Kings, and the Hope of Restoration

2 Chronicles continues the story from Solomon to the exile, centering on the temple, worship, and the promises to David. It opens with the dedication of the temple and the Lord’s glory filling the house, then traces Judah’s kings through seasons of renewal and decline, highlighting reforms under Hezekiah and Josiah, and the tragic slide into idolatry that leads to judgment and exile. Yet the book ends with a note of hope in Cyrus’s decree, signaling God’s covenant faithfulness and a path to return. Ultimately, 2 Chronicles points to Christ, the true Son of David and greater temple, in whom God dwells with His people and through whom lasting renewal comes.
