Challenged to read 2 Chronicles 11-20 http://www.bartleby.com/108/14/11.html
The tone and style of Chronicles seems well suited to the audience of returned exiles living in the time of Nehemiah and Ezra and also to those still exiled in Babylon. They deal with many tough issues and are probably having an adventure they would rather not have. On one hand, they face enemies who seemed more powerful, on the other hand they are trying to return and re-establish their home in Canaan.The book of Chronicles contains all the elements/doctrines that are contained in Kings concerning both the legal and Levitical codes, but it also stresses the elements of faith, humility, and hope. Do you see these elements in the chapters you read today?
