Learing from experience??

Chronicles, in fact the entire Bible, is not meant to be an exhaustive history. Rather, there is purpose behind the writings. Chronicles is written by someone of priestly lineage (Ezra?) For the purpose of showing how the kings of Judah obeyed God and what impact they had on the temple. Understanding this is important to realize why so much of history is glossed over. A key point is odebience to God. Blessings and victory fell on those who obeyed, not so much with those who didn't. You would think they would learn from their history, easy isnt it? Do we? Even in our daily lives we do not redo things that are desctructive....Einstein is credited with saying "insanity is doing the same things over again, expecting different results". After reading Chronicles, it is clear where he got that from!
