Brief Summary: The Book of 2 Chronicles records the history of the Southern Kingdom of Judah, from the reign of Solomon to the conclusion of the Babylonian exile. The decline of Judah is disappointing, but emphasis is given to the spiritual reformers who zealously seek to turn the people back to God. Little is said about the bad kings or of the failures of good kings; only goodness is stressed.
Muhtasari kwa kifupi: Kitabu cha 2 Mambo ya Nyakati Kinatoa historia ya ufalme wa kusini ya Yuda, kutoka utawala wa Sulemani hadi hitimisho la uhamisho wa Babeli. Mwanguko wa Yuda ni wa kuudhi, lakini msisitizo unatolewa kwa waleta mabadiliko wa kiroho ambao kwa bidii wanajitahidi kuwarejesha watu kwa Mungu. Machache yamesemwa kuhusu wafalme wabaya au ya kushindwa kwa wafalme wazuri; wema tu ndio umesisitizwa.
