I didn't love this book. There was a lot of repeated information and references to other chapters. Men becoming kings and then sleeping with their fathers (dyeing) and then another one coming in.

Good stuff:

bad stuff: The building of the tabernacle, The spoils of war are used as building materials for both tabernacle and temple, The people contribute willingly and generously for both structure, The cloud (WTF is the cloud?)

That was a lot of information that was being repeated from previous chapters.

Good stuff

Bad stuff: Genealogies, reign of king David (again), reign of king Solomon (again), History of the Kings of Judah (too unfocused).

Sidenote: The reason for such vague and short and "eh" words on each of these books, is because I wasn't challenging the study of the Bible when I read these. I was challenging myself to read the whole Bible in a year because I knew it would be discipline to keep at it daily. I do, however, plan to pick up a book and study what it is saying. Those will be longer reads and more notes.

So here is my review from my "Read the Bible in a Year" challenge. Usually just snippets of thoughts and random things I liked about the book itself. Nothing in-depth.

So here is my review on 01 Chronicles

A lot of genealogy in this book. And accounts for Saul's death. Wasn't the most interesting read, but alas it is important.

So here is my review on 02 Chronicles.

So this was better then the first one. Talked a lot about Solomon and how he is great and things and how everything fell apart after he died and the nation split into two nations. It talked about the kings of the southern nation more than the northern.
