The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles covers the whole history of Israel from basically Genesis.
The first 7 chapters are entirely genealogies of various people - the only curiosity is that verse 25 of chapter 1 contains the shortest verse in the old testament and the second shortest verse in the bible.
It has very little meaning the verse says "Eber, Peleg, Reu".
As the other half of this post here is a table of the kings of Israel and Judah
I think this brings us to the end of Chronicles - next up the return to the homeland but not national independance.
The first 7 chapters are entirely genealogies of various people - the only curiosity is that verse 25 of chapter 1 contains the shortest verse in the old testament and the second shortest verse in the bible.
It has very little meaning the verse says "Eber, Peleg, Reu".
