If you have any doubts you can always consult your trusted spiritual guide and pray a lot looking for answers in the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Context_of_2_Chronicles_20\"><\/span><b>Context of 2 Chronicles 20<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After reading the text, you may wonder where you should place 2 Chronicles 20 in the Bible and in the chronology of Israel. <\/span><b>Israel&#8217;s chronology<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in general. Well, now let&#8217;s answer these questions and get to know the context of the chapter to make everything clearer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you look in the Bible, you will find the Second Book of Chronicles in the Old Testament, after the First Book of Chronicles (<\/span><b>1 Chronicles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), which is also preceded by 2 Kings. On the other hand, the next book to 2 Chronicles is Ezra, which is also a very historically charged book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although nowadays they are treated separately, the books of <\/span><b>Books of Chronicles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> come from a single original volume that was later divided into two. Both narrate chronologically the history of Israel in a schematic way starting with Adam and ending with the liberation of the Jewish captivity in Babylon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In them, there are also important characters such as <\/span><b>Adam, Noah, Abraham and David<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all linked with a well-specified genealogy. Thus, you have in these books a list of all the kings of Israel, their origins and descendants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chapter 2 Chronicles 20, narrates a fragment of Jehoshaphat&#8217;s <\/span><b>reign of Jehoshaphat<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the sixth king of the house of David. His reign over Judah was around the time of 850 B.C., a period little known to most believers about the history of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For your reference, at that time David had reigned for about 200 years, unifying Israel and <\/span><b>unifying Israel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and it was also approximately 300 years before the destruction of the First Temple and the Jewish exile to Babylon that is narrated in books such as that of the prophet Jeremiah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this we say goodbye and thank you for reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/category\/versiculos\/\">our articles<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that you can always find many more like this in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/\">Tu Biblia Online<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jehoshaphat was one of the most important kings of ancient Judah after the great King David, although he was also one of the most unknown by most Christians.
