Historical Background

The Book of 2 Chronicles was written by an unknown author, possibly a priest or a scribe, around the 4th century BC. It was written for the people of Judah to remind them of their history and to encourage them to follow God's laws. The cultural setting is that of the divided kingdom, with frequent conflicts and alliances between Israel and Judah.

Living It Out Today

When we get hurt, physically or emotionally, it's important to seek help and support from others. Just as Azariah went to see Jehoram, we should reach out to friends and family when we're going through difficult times.
