The book of Chronicles has received a revival in recent scholarship, making it one of the most studied books, and this is especially true from 1 Chronicles 10 onwards—ignoring the genealogies of 1 Chronicles 1-9. The Chronicler’s genealogies contain seemingly endless lists of names, with neither intriguing plot nor sublime poetry, and thus hardly generate interest in the reader. Yet, when the Chronicler incorporated these lists into his book, he designed them with a deliberate and sophisticated literary design according to his purposes. In “And the Records are Ancient”: A Literary Analysis of the Genealogies of Judah in Chronicles, Klein takes the reader deep into the genealogies of the tribe of Judah (1 Chron 2:3– 4:23) to expose these designs in all their glory and show the great richness inherent in seemingly boring texts.
