The Books of Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings form an integrated block of text covering the period from the conquest of Canaan through to the end of the kingdom of Judah and the beginning of the Babylonian Exile, known as the "Deuteronomic history". It thus seeks to cover the history and legend of Israel from around 1440 BCE to the middle of the sixth century BCE. Scholars call the author of this history the Deuteronomist or 'D' source, because they also see this as the principal source of the Book of Deuteronomy. This group of books was written during the reign of King Josiah of Judah, 641-609 BCE.
The Books of Chronicles provide another history that more or less parallels the Deuteronomic history, but presents the priestly point of view. It attempts to resolve some of the inconsistencies found in the Deuteronomic history and introduces new theological concepts by placing them in a pre-Exilic context. The principal author is now referred to as the Chronicler, but it was actually written as a composite work some time after the Return from the Babylonian Exile. 1 and 2 Chronicles were probably written during the sixth century BCE.
1 Samuel - from the birth of Samuel to the death of Saul (1105-1011BC).
2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles - the reign of King David (1011- 971BC).
1 Kings - beginning of Solomon's reign, the division of the kingdoms in 931 BC through to Ahaziah's reign in 851BC.
2 Kings - 853 BC - 560BC from Ahaziah to the capture of the tribe of Judah by the Babylonians.
2 Chronicles - from Solomon's reign to the exile and parallels the chronology of the books of Kings.
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.

A:We do not know exactly where 1 and 2 Chronicles were written, but we do know they were written during or, more likely, just after the Babylonian Exile. If they were written during the Exile, then they were written in or near Babylon. Otherwise, they were written in the city of Jerusalem.
1 Kings and 2 Kings are part of the series now known as the Deuteronomic History and are moderately reliable in their history. The Deuteronomic History consists of Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings.1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles are also considered history books, but are possibly less reliable than the Deuteronomic History on which they are based, because that original source was amended without reliance on any other known source.
The Book of Chronicles was probably written shortly after the Return from the Babylonian Exile, by an anonymous author. It is clearly based on the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings), with changes to remove some obvious inconsistencies and to suit the theology of the time. During the Christian Era, The Book of Chronicles was split into tow books, 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles, due to the difficulty of fitting the entire text onto a single roll of papyrus.The author of the Book of Chronicles was anonymous, so we therefore do not know who wrote 1 Chronicles or 2 Chronicles. The author is simply referred to as "the Chronicler".AnswerThe author is not stated and is usually referred to as the Chronicler. It is believed that Chronicles was written by Ezra.
The Bible's "Books of History" are Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther - 12 books in all.This is not to say that historians regard all these texts as entirely historical. Most historians would regard the Books of Joshua and Esther as containing very little of historical value, whereas much of what is in 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah is probably historical.
