Scripture gives us two “synoptic problems” – the problem of harmonizing the gospels and the problem of harmonizing Kings and Chronicles. That is, the history of the kingdom and the history of Jesus are each told more than once.
The parallel is intriguing. It suggests that the two histories are parallel in other ways as well. At the very least, it suggests that both are centrally about the fortunes of the Davidic dynasty.
