1 Chronicles

Many people have found The People's Bible to be the most reliable Bible commentary series published. It's the laypeople's Bible--down to earth, clearly written, easy to read and understand, filled with practical and contemporary applications. Each volume includes that book's complete text from the NIV Bible. The Christ-centered commentaries following the Scripture sections contain explanations of the text, historical background, maps, illustrations, and archaeological information. The People's Bible commentaries are great for personal or group study. The first book of Chronicles traces the history of God's people from Adam to David. Throughout this history God reminded his people that the Messiah, a royal descendant of David, would come. When the Messiah did come, he established God's righteous rule over his people in a way far beyond the rule of any human king.
