- Intro 2 Chronicles - Overview An Orthodox reading of temple, covenant, reliance, humility, prophetic warning, Passover, exile, and return across twenty-five studies.
- 1 2 Chronicles 1 - Solomon Asks for Wisdom Solomon seeks wisdom for God's people; gifts received at the altar must remain governed by obedience.
- 2 2 Chronicles 2 - Solomon Prepares to Build the Temple Solomon prepares the temple through skill and labor, confessing God's uncontainable glory and facing the cost borne by workers.
- 3-4 2 Chronicles 3-4 - The Temple Built and Furnished The temple's site, veil, washing, lamps, and bread teach holy approach, fulfilled through Christ and received in the Church.
- 5-7 2 Chronicles 5-7 - Dedication of the Temple Glory fills the temple; Solomon prays for a wounded people, and God answers with mercy, repentance, and warning.
- 8 2 Chronicles 8 - Solomon Organizes the Kingdom and Worship Solomon orders work and worship, while labor and royal privilege expose the difference between organization and holiness.
- 9 2 Chronicles 9 - Solomon and the Queen of Sheba Sheba seeks wisdom and blesses God; Solomon's splendor and death direct us to Christ, the greater Solomon.
- 10 2 Chronicles 10 - The Kingdom Divides Rehoboam answers a heavy burden with harsher speech; Christ reveals authority that serves and gathers the divided.
- 11-12 2 Chronicles 11-12 - Rehoboam Humbled Rehoboam obeys, grows strong, falls, and repents; mercy spares Judah while the lost gold reveals the cost of forsaking God.
- 13 2 Chronicles 13 - Abijah and Jeroboam Abijah defends covenant worship; Judah prevails through reliance on God, while victory leaves its king in need of repentance.
- 14-16 2 Chronicles 14-16 - Asa: Reform, Reliance, and Decline Asa moves from prayerful reliance to self-protection; reform must become lifelong seeking, humility, and openness to correction.
- 17-19 2 Chronicles 17-19 - Jehoshaphat: Teaching, Alliance, and Justice Jehoshaphat teaches the Law, compromises with Ahab, receives rebuke, and restores justice under the Lord.
- 20 2 Chronicles 20 - Jehoshaphat: Prayer and Praise Before Battle Judah brings fear before the Lord, receives His word, and learns to praise before deliverance is visible.
- 21-22 2 Chronicles 21-22 - Jehoram, Ahaziah, and Athaliah Violent kings betray David’s house, yet God preserves His promise through Jehoshabeath’s rescue of the hidden Joash.
- 23 2 Chronicles 23 - Joash Crowned and Athaliah Overthrown Jehoiada reveals the hidden heir, places the crown under God’s testimony, and renews the people’s belonging to the Lord.
- 24 2 Chronicles 24 - Joash Repairs the Temple Then Falls Away Joash restores the temple but rejects the word; Jehoiada’s honored burial exposes the king’s failure of gratitude and perseverance.
- 25 2 Chronicles 25 - Amaziah: Partial Obedience and Pride Amaziah obeys in part, imports defeated gods, and rejects correction. Christ heals the divided heart and frees us for costly trust.
- 26 2 Chronicles 26 - Uzziah: Strength Without Humility Uzziah is wonderfully helped, then grasps at priestly service. Isaiah and Christ reveal holiness received through humility and grace.
- 27 2 Chronicles 27 - Jotham: Steady Faithfulness Jotham prepares his ways, strengthens the temple gate, and remains faithful amid corruption. Christ sustains patient, accountable service.
- 28 2 Chronicles 28 - Ahaz: False Worship and Political Fear Ahaz closes the temple, while mercy restores Judah’s captives. Immanuel answers fear with God’s fidelity and a summons to return.
- 29 2 Chronicles 29 - Hezekiah Opens and Cleanses the Temple Hezekiah reopens and cleanses the temple. Confession, atonement, received praise, and grace restore a people to joyful worship.
- 30-31 2 Chronicles 30-31 - Hezekiah's Passover and the People's Offerings A merciful Passover gathers scattered Israel. Christ our Passover calls the Church to reverence, sincerity, generosity, and faithful care.
- 32 2 Chronicles 32 - Hezekiah and Sennacherib Hezekiah prepares and prays under Assyrian threat, receives deliverance, and learns humility after answered prayer.
- 33 2 Chronicles 33 - Manasseh and Amon Manasseh returns from grave sin through humility and prayer; his reforms bear fruit, while Amon refuses the same repentance.
- 34-35 2 Chronicles 34-35 - Josiah: Law, Covenant, and Passover Josiah hears the Law, receives Huldah’s word, renews the covenant and Passover, yet fails to heed the warning at Megiddo.
- 36 2 Chronicles 36 - Fall, Exile, and Cyrus Judah refuses God’s messengers and goes into exile; the Lord stirs Cyrus to open a road toward worship and rebuilding.
