1 Paralipomena
The book of 1 Chronicles tells the history of Israel, starting with genealogies from Adam, and focuses on the reign of King David, his plans for the temple, and his preparation for his son, Solomon. Just about 400 years later the Apostle Matthew would complete the geneology of King Solomon with Joseph the Betrothed. Written after the Babylonian exile, it aims to provide a sense of continuity and a theological framework for the post-exilic community by emphasizing God's covenant with David and the importance of proper worship centered at the temple in Jerusalem. The content include includes detailed records for Reuben, Judah, Levi, and Benjamin. In the Septuagint (LXX) and Vulgate (VG), as well as in the smaller/redacted Protestant bibles, the Books of Paralipomenon are placed immediately after the Books of Kings and thus considerd of "the Prophets". In the printed edition of the Hebrew Bible they stand at the end of the third division, or Kethubhim and thus considered as "other writings." Some Jews call this collection Dibre hayyamim, i.e., "Acts of the Days." The scroll functions to validate the priests, the line of David, and the inheritance rights of families returning to the land. Concerning the Messiah, his mother the Theotokos is daughter of Joachim (of the line of Nathan son of David) and Anna (Matthan the priest, of the line of Levi). See St John of Damascus (book IV, chapter XIV)
