The World English Bible (WEB): 2 Chronicles

"The World English Bible (WEB): 2 Chronicles" by Anonymous is a recounting of historical events that likely took place long ago. It mainly tells the stories of the kings who ruled Judah, with a strong emphasis on King Solomon and his famous project of building the temple in Jerusalem, also touching on the events that followed in kingdoms and with their leaders. The stories often highlight ideas about staying true to God, the idea of fairness from a higher power, and the importance of being wise. It begins by showing Solomon taking over as king after David, describing how he gains support from above and is allowed to ask for anything he wants from God. Instead of riches or power, Solomon asks for the wisdom to be a good ruler, which God gives him along with wealth and respect. The account then moves on to the gathering of important people, the offering of sacrifices, and Solomon's plans to construct a temple for God illustrating how grand and important it was to the history and beliefs of Israel.
