Historical Background

The Book of 2 Chronicles was written by an unknown author after the return from the Babylonian exile, around the 4th century BCE. It was intended for the returning exiles to encourage them to rebuild their spiritual life and temple. The cultural setting reflects the religious and social context of a post-exilic community seeking to restore their faith.
