Summary/Abstract: The Chronicler presents the history of David’s dynasty as a series of disloyal acts contrary to the covenant with God. The final stage of this history is marked by strong admonitions indicating the approaching wrath of God. However, the final sentence of the book, a quote from the decree of Cyrus, conveys the truth that God’s mercy is stronger than His wrath.
