2 Chronicles 36:1-21

2 Chronicles 36:1 The Last Four Kings. Compare 2 Kings 23:31. The Chronicler summarizes the reigns of Judah’s last four kings. Because they abandon the covenant after Josiah’s death, all four will go into exile, as will the people. Yet the exile will be a positive time of purification; the book concludes with a new act of God’s grace, declared through a pagan king (2 Chronicles 36:22).
