The Deuteronomic History consists of the Old Testament Books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel anf Kings, which form a unified and consistent history of the land of the Israelite people.
Whether or not it is a strictly literal history, the Deuteronomic History certainly provides an epic theme of a glorious past for a great nation founded under the guidance of its God and then divided into two by because of the disobedience of its people. One theme that devolves from this is that disobedience of the law will bring punishment by God, particularly the withdrawal of the gift of the land promised to the people by God.
Perhaps the past was not as glorious as described; perhaps the land was not really promised to the people just as described; and perhaps there really was no magnificant United Monarchy of Israel, but the History was designed to develop national pride and unity, both for the Judahites of the southern kingdom and the refugees who arrived in Judah after the destruction of the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel.

What is the major theological theme of Chronicles?
A:The Book of Chronicles (now 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles) is largely based on the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings) but was written shortly after the Babylonian Exile to provide the Priestly view of Israelite history. There is a greater emphasis placed on the role of the northern kingdom of Israel, and less emphasis on King David. The role and importance of the priesthood is emphasised, and some fragmentary evidence of early polytheism that may be found in the Deuteronomic History is omitted from Chronicles.

Why is it called Deuteronomic history?
Another answer from our community:The Deuteronomic History is named by the developers of the documentary hypothesis in the 19th century to refer to the history also written by the author of Deuteronomy. They gave this history a separate name because they believed it represented a different perspective of a different author who wrote much later than the time of Moses.This is connected with their second major presupposition, that of an evolutionary development of the religion of Israel from primitive polytheism (many gods) to Henotheism (many gods, with one chief god) to Monotheism (one God). Josiah's reform was intended to bring the 'triumph of Monotheism' by attributing its authority to antiquity, whereas it was the invention of a much alter age.Thus although the theory is elaborate it has no supporting evidence except its own internal circular reasoning. There never was any evidence of any kind for the theory as postulated, except in the minds of its creators and proponents. No documents of any kind exist which support the proposed deuteronomic history or the existence of the alleged author. No corroborating historical detail external to the Bible itself, supports it. The internal witness of the Bible itself, also thoroughly refutes this history.Thus there never was such a thing as the Deuteronomic History as postulated by the documentary theorists. Nor was there a necessity to create such a history. I believe the evidence points toward a single author in the time-frame suggested by the text itself, around 1400 BC, that person being Moses.
