'''Second Chronicles''' is the 14th book of the [[Old Testament]]. Its final verses indicate that it was probably written after the release of the exiles from [[Babylon]] in 538 BC. However the absence of Hellenistic (that is devotion to the [[Greece|Greek]] language through written style) influence might suggest that Second Chronicles was written before the [[Alexander the Great|Alexandrian]] period (before 331 BC). The majority of interpreters have dated Second Chronicles during the time of [[Ezra]] and [[Nehemiah]].
This book was written for historical and theological reasons. The Chronicler extensive use of historical documents and devotion to numerical and chronologically detail such as in Second Chronicles 14:1-9 and 16:12-13 show he wished his readers to have an extremely accurate perspective to his historical record. This book is not entirely based on history; the Chronicler also wrote to convey a relevant theological message. It was written to encourage and guide the reader as he sought the full restoration of the kingdom.
