Bible (Reina Valera) 14: Segundo Libro de Crónicas

The "Bible (Reina Valera) 14: Segundo Libro de Crónicas" by Reina-Valera is a religious text that continues the historical account of Judah, which was introduced in the First Book of Chronicles. It was written after the people started returning to Israel from their exile in Babylon in 538 BC. The purpose of this book, known as "Chronicles," was perhaps to encourage the returning exiles. It recounts the construction and dedication of Solomon's temple, highlighting the wisdom and power of this great king. However, the majority of the book focuses on the unfortunate reality of Judah's downfall due to their sinful actions, which ultimately led to their exile. Despite this, the book also emphasizes God's faithfulness to His covenant people. Towards the end, it records the decree of King Cyrus of Persia, which allowed the exiled Jews to return to their Promised Land.
