1 Chronicles was written by an unknown author, likely a priest or a Levite, around 400-250 BC. It was written to the Israelites returning from exile, to remind them of their history and God's faithfulness. The cultural setting reflects the post-exilic period, emphasizing God's role in Israel's history.
