Book Description: El Segundo Libro de Crónicas, extiende la historia de Judá, que comenzó en el Primer Libro de Crónicas. Fue escrito después de que la gente comenzara a regresar a Israel del exilio en Babilonia en 538 a. C. Las "crónicas”, quizás tratando de alentar a los exiliados que regresaron, relatan la construcción y dedicación del templo de Salomón y recuerdan la sabiduría y poder de este gran rey. La mayor parte del libro, sin embargo, se enfoca en la realidad de la caída de Judá en el pecado que lo llevó al exilio. Judá tuvo varios reyes fieles a Dios, especialmente Ezequías y Josías, pero aun así se convirtió al pecado. Sin embargo, Dios permaneció fiel a Su pueblo del pacto. Al finalizar el libro se registra el decreto del Rey Ciro de Persia que permitió a los judíos exiliados regresar a su Tierra Prometida.
English Translation: The Second Book of Chronicles extends the history of Judah, which began in the First Book of Chronicles. It was written after people began returning to Israel from exile in Babylon in 538 BC. C. The "chronicles", perhaps trying to encourage the returned exiles, relate the construction and dedication of Solomon's temple and recall the wisdom and power of this great king. Most of the book, however, focuses on the reality of Judah's fall into sin that led them into exile. Judah had several kings faithful to God, especially Hezekiah and Josiah, but still converted to sin. However, God remained faithful to His covenant people. The book also records the decree of Cyrus King of Persia that allowed the exiled Jews to return to their Promised Land.
