Many people have found The People's Bible to be the most reliable Bible commentary series published. It's the laypeople's Bible—down to earth, clearly written, easy to read and understand, filled with practical and contemporary applications. Each volume includes that book's complete text from the NIV Bible. The Christ-centered commentaries following the Scripture sections contain explanations of the text, historical background, maps, illustrations, and archaeological information. The People's Bible commentaries are great for personal or group study.
The second book of Chronicles continues the history of God's people. Beginning with the reign of Solomon, the book tells the story of the decline of God's people. Eventually God sent the Babylonians, who destroyed Jerusalem and carried God's people off into exile. The book ends with the decree of Cyrus, which allowed them to return and rebuild their land.
