The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 14: 2 Paralipomenon
"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 14: 2 Paralipomenon" is a historical and religious text likely written during the early Christian era post-collection of the Hebrew scriptures. This portion of the Bible focuses on the reigns of various kings of Judah, emphasizing their successes, failures, and the overarching themes of divine guidance and judgment. The opening of 2 Paralipomenon introduces us to King Solomon, the son of David, who is noted for his wisdom
and the building of the Temple in Jerusalem. The text recounts significant events such as Solomon's sacrificial offerings at Gabaon, his prayer for wisdom to govern his people, and the materials used in constructing the Temple. It also highlights God's favor upon Solomon, granting him not only wisdom but also wealth and glory, which set the stage for examining subsequent kings of Judah and their adherence (or lack thereof) to God's laws. The narrative ultimately serves to illustrate the consequences of faithfulness or disobedience to God's commandments throughout the history of Judah. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
