New Testament
1 Chronicles
The two books of Chronicles provide a second account of the history of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. The first account is found in the books of Samuel and Kings. Chronicles emphasizes the preservation of the lines of the kings and priests in the kingdom of Judah, which was essential to the fulfillment of God's promises regarding the coming Messiah. Chronicles was written in the 5th century BC around the time of Ezra. Ezra may have been the author or assembler of the material, but the identity of the author remains unknown.

Footnotes
- 1:1 The genealogies of the first nine chapters of 1 Chronicles present considerable challenges for the translator and reader. Although many of the names appear in earlier genealogical lists in the Bible, many names are spelled differently here, and there are other differences between the lists. Also many of the genealogies are incomplete, omitting some generations.
- 1:4 The Hebrew text does not include the words the sons of Noah were. The translation follows the Greek text.
- 1:5 In these parallel lists many personal names have more than one form and are spelled in more than one way, and there are complicated sets of textual variants. The translation does not provide a footnote for every variant or spelling.
- 1:5 Some of these proper names are the names both of individuals and of the ethnic groups derived from them. Some of these names also serve as the names of the geographic locations in which these peoples lived. Sometimes in genealogies the term sons includes successive generations of descendants.
- 1:6 Variant Ripath. In Hebrew script the equivalents of d and r look very much alike.
- 1:7 Even though they are called sons, the names ending in -im refer to groups of people rather than to individuals. Generally in narrative contexts this -im ending is translated as -ites. Here we keep some of the -im endings to reflect the structure and nature of the genealogies.
- 1:7 Variant Dodanim. The Hebrew equivalents of d and r look very much alike in Hebrew script.
- 1:8 Mizraim is the Hebrew name for Egypt.
- 1:9 The stop mark ' indicates that the double a in Ra'ama should be pronounced as two syllables, Ray-ama.
- 1:16 The groups of people in this section are not marked by the ethnic ending -im but by -i, translated here as -ites.
- 1:17 The Hebrew does not have the words sons of Aram. The translation follows the parallel in Genesis 10:23.
- 1:17 Variant Mash or Massa
- 1:19 Peleg means division.
- 1:22 Variant Obal
- 1:32 A concubine is a legal wife, but with a lesser status than that of the primary wife or wives.
- 1:36 The Hebrew text reads and Timna and Amalek, but Genesis 36:12 indicates that Timna was the mother of Amalek. Also see verses 39, where Timna is a woman, and 51, in which Timna is a man.
- 1:38 It is clear from what follows that not all of these names are sons in the narrow biological sense of the term. Seir is the same region as Edom. These are not necessarily physical descendants of Esau but peoples that joined his nation.
- 1:40 Variant Alvan.
- 1:41 Variant Hemdan
- 1:42 Variant Akan
- 1:48 The River usually refers to the Euphrates, which is far from Edom.
- 1:50 Variant Pau
- 1:51 Variant Alvah.
