역대하 2권 요약
저자 역대하에는 저자의 이름이 구체적으로 명시되어 있지 않습니다. 전승에 따르면 역대하 상하는 에스라가 썼다고 합니다.

Date of Writing: The Book of 2 Chronicles was likely written between 450 and 425 B.C.
기록 날짜: 역대하는 기원전 450년에서 425년 사이에 기록되었을 가능성이 높습니다.

Purpose of Writing: The Books of 1 & 2 Chronicles cover mostly the same information as 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings. The Books of 1 & 2 Chronicles focus more on the priestly aspect of the time period. The Book of 2 Chronicles is essentially an eval‎uation of the nation’s religious history.
집필 목적: 역대기상하서는 사무엘상하 및 열왕기상하와 거의 동일한 내용을 다루고 있습니다. 역대기상하서는 당시의 제사장적 측면에 더 초점을 맞추고 있습니다. 역대하서는 본질적으로 이스라엘의 종교적 역사를 평가하는 책입니다.

Key Verses:
2 Chronicles 2:1, "Solomon gave orders to build a temple for the Name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself."

핵심 구절:
역대하 2:1, "솔로몬은 여호와의 이름을 위하여 성전을 짓고 자신을 위하여 왕궁을 짓도록 명령했습니다."

2 Chronicles 29:1-3, "Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah. He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done. In the first month of the first year of his reign, he opened the doors of the temple of the LORD and repaired them."
역대하 29:1-3, "히스기야가 왕이 되었을 때 그의 나이 스물다섯 살이었고 예루살렘에서 스물아홉 해를 다스렸다. 그의 어머니의 이름은 스가랴의 딸 아비야였습니다. 그는 아버지 다윗이 행한 것처럼 주님 보시기에 옳은 일을 행했습니다. 그는 왕이 된 첫해 첫 달에 여호와의 성전 문을 열고 수리했습니다."

2 Chronicles 36:14, "Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people became more and more unfaithful, following all the detestable practices of the nations and defiling the temple of the LORD, which he had consecrated in Jerusalem."
역대하 36:14, "또 제사장들과 백성의 모든 지도자들이 점점 더 불충실하여 이방의 모든 가증한 관습을 따르고 예루살렘에 봉헌하신 여호와의 성전을 더럽혔더라."

2 Chronicles 36:23, "This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Anyone of his people among you—may the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.'"
역대하 36:23, "페르시아의 고레스 왕이 이렇게 말합니다. '하늘의 하나님 여호와께서 땅의 모든 나라를 내게 주셨고, 유다 예루살렘에 자신을 위한 성전을 짓도록 나를 임명하셨다. 너희 중에 그의 백성 중 누구든지 그의 하나님 여호와께서 그와 함께 계시고 그를 올라가게 하소서."

Brief Summary: The Book of 2 Chronicles records the history of the Southern Kingdom of Judah, from the reign of Solomon to the conclusion of the Babylonian exile. The decline of Judah is disappointing, but emphasis is given to the spiritual reformers who zealously seek to turn the people back to God. Little is said about the bad kings or of the failures of good kings; only goodness is stressed. Since 2 Chronicles takes a priestly perspective, the Northern Kingdom of Israel is rarely mentioned because of her false worship and refusal to acknowledge the Temple of Jerusalem. Second Chronicles concludes with the final destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.
개요: 역대하서는 솔로몬의 통치부터 바빌론 유배가 끝날 때까지 남왕국 유다의 역사를 기록합니다. 유다의 쇠퇴는 실망스럽지만, 백성들을 하나님께로 돌아오게 하려고 열렬히 노력한 영적 개혁가들이 강조됩니다. 나쁜 왕이나 선한 왕의 실패에 대해서는 거의 언급되지 않고 오직 선함만 강조됩니다. 역대하는 제사장적 관점을 취하고 있기 때문에 북왕국 이스라엘은 거짓 숭배와 예루살렘 성전 인정 거부로 인해 거의 언급되지 않습니다. 역대하는 예루살렘과 성전이 최종적으로 멸망하는 것으로 마무리됩니다.

Foreshadowings: As with all references to kings and temples in the Old Testament, we see in them a reflection of the true King of Kings—Jesus Christ—and of the temple of the Holy Spirit—His people. Even the best of the kings of Israel had the faults of all sinful men and led the people imperfectly. But when the King of Kings comes to live and reign on the earth in the millennium, He will establish Himself on the throne of all the earth as the rightful heir of David. Only then will we have a perfect King who will reign in righteousness and holiness, something the best of Israel’s kings could only dream of.
예표: 구약성경의 왕과 성전에 대한 모든 언급과 마찬가지로, 우리는 그 안에서 진정한 만왕의 왕이신 예수 그리스도와 성령의 성전인 그의 백성에 대한 반영을 볼 수 있습니다. 이스라엘의 왕들 중 가장 훌륭했던 왕들도 죄 많은 인간의 결점을 가지고 있었고 백성들을 불완전하게 이끌었습니다. 그러나 만왕의 왕이 천년왕국 시대에 이 땅에서 살아서 통치하실 때, 그분은 다윗의 정당한 상속자로서 온 땅의 왕좌에 자신을 세우실 것입니다. 그래야만 이스라엘 최고의 왕들도 꿈꿀 수 없었던 의와 거룩함으로 다스리는 완전한 왕을 만나게 될 것입니다.

Similarly, the great temple built by Solomon was not designed to last forever. Just 150 years later, it was in need of repair from decay and defacing by future generations who turned back to idolatry (2 Kings 12). But the temple of the Holy Spirit—those who belong to Christ—will live forever. We who belong to Jesus are that temple, made not by hands but by the will of God (John 1:12-13). The Spirit who lives within us will never depart from us and will deliver us safely into the hands of God one day (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30). No earthly temple contains that promise.
마찬가지로 솔로몬이 지은 위대한 성전은 영원히 지속되도록 설계된 것이 아니었습니다. 불과 150년 후, 우상 숭배로 돌아선 후대에 의해 부패와 훼손으로 인해 수리가 필요했습니다(열왕기하 12장). 그러나 성령의 성전, 즉 그리스도께 속한 사람들은 영원히 살 것입니다. 예수님께 속한 우리는 손으로 지은 것이 아니라 하나님의 뜻으로 지어진 성전입니다(요한복음 1:12~13). 우리 안에 거하시는 성령은 결코 우리를 떠나지 않으시고 언젠가 우리를 하나님의 손에 안전하게 인도하실 것입니다(에베소서 1:13, 4:30). 지상의 어떤 성전에도 그 약속이 담겨 있지 않습니다.

Practical Application: The reader of the Chronicles is invited to eval‎uate each generation from the past and discern why each was blessed for their obedience or punished for their wickedness. But we are also to compare the plight of these generations to our own, both corporately and individually. If we or our nation or our church is experiencing hardships, it is to our benefit to compare our beliefs and how we act upon those beliefs with the experiences of the Israelites under the various kings. God hates sin and will not tolerate it. But if the Chronicles teach us anything, it is that God desires to forgive and heal those who will humbly pray and repent (1 John 1:9).
실제 적용: 역대기를 읽는 독자들은 과거의 각 세대를 평가하고 왜 각 세대가 순종으로 축복을 받았는지, 악으로 벌을 받았는지 분별하도록 초대받습니다. 그러나 우리는 또한 이 세대의 곤경을 우리 자신의 곤경과 비교해야 합니다. 우리나 국가 또는 교회가 고난을 겪고 있다면, 우리의 믿음과 그 믿음에 따라 행동하는 방식을 여러 왕 아래서 이스라엘 백성들이 겪었던 경험과 비교하는 것이 우리에게 유익합니다. 하나님은 죄를 미워하시며 죄를 용납하지 않으십니다. 그러나 역대기가 우리에게 가르쳐 주는 것이 있다면, 하나님은 겸손히 기도하고 회개하는 자를 용서하고 치유하기를 원하신다는 것입니다(요일 1:9).

If you could have anything you wished from God, what would you ask for? Fabulous wealth? Perfect health for you and your loved ones? The power over life and death? Amazing to think about it, isn’t it? But more amazing is that God made such an offer to Solomon and he chose none of these things. What he asked for was wisdom and knowledge to complete the task God had assigned to him and to do it well. The lesson for us is that God has given each of us a commission to fulfill and the greatest blessing we can seek from God is the ability to carry out His will for our lives. For that, we need the “wisdom from above” (James 3:17) to discern His will, as well as the understanding and intimate knowledge of Him in order to motivate us to Christlikeness in both deed and attitude (James 3:13).
신에게 소원을 빌 수 있다면 무엇을 빌고 싶으신가요? 엄청난 부? 당신과 당신의 사랑하는 사람들을 위한 완벽한 건강? 삶과 죽음을 지배하는 힘? 생각만 해도 놀랍지 않나요? 하지만 더 놀라운 것은 하나님께서 솔로몬에게 이런 소원을 주셨지만 그가 이런 것들을 선택하지 않았다는 사실입니다. 그가 구한 것은 하나님께서 그에게 맡기신 임무를 완수하고 잘 해낼 수 있는 지혜와 지식이었습니다. 우리에게 주는 교훈은 하나님께서 우리 각자에게 사명을 주셨고, 우리가 하나님께 구할 수 있는 가장 큰 축복은 우리 삶에 대한 하나님의 뜻을 수행할 수 있는 능력이라는 것입니다. 그러기 위해서는 그분의 뜻을 분별할 수 있는 "위로부터 오는 지혜"(약 3:17)와 행동과 태도 모두에서 그리스도를 닮도록 동기를 부여하기 위해 그분에 대한 이해와 친밀한 지식이 필요합니다(약 3:13).

Bible Book Summary
2 Chronicles Summary
by Jay Smith

성경 요약
역대하 요약
by 제이 스미스
The book of 2nd Chronicles is a Narrative History. The author appears to be the prophet Ezra who wrote it circa 430 B.C. It covers the events from the beginning from King Solomon’s reign in 970 B.C. up to the beginning of the Babylonian captivity in 586 B.C. The key personalities are King Solomon, the queen of Sheba, Rehoboam, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, Joash, Uzziah, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, and Josiah.
역대하서는 이야기체 역사서입니다. 저자는 주전 430년경에 기록한 에스라 선지자로 보이며, 주전 970년 솔로몬 왕의 통치부터 주전 586년 바벨론 포로기 시작까지의 사건을 다루고 있습니다. 주요 인물은 솔로몬 왕, 스바 왕비, 르호보암, 아사, 여호사밧, 여호람, 요아스, 웃시야, 아하스, 히스기야, 므낫세, 요시야 등입니다.


It was written to emphasize the blessings of the righteous kings and to expose the sins of the wicked kings. It parallels some parts of 1st and 2nd Kings. Like 1st Chronicles, it is written from the viewpoint of a priest who spoke from spiritual perspectives, including revivals. It too, was written after the exile and focuses on correct worship to YHWH.
의로운 왕의 축복을 강조하고 악한 왕의 죄를 폭로하기 위해 쓰여졌습니다. 열왕기 상하편과 열왕기 하편의 일부와 유사합니다. 역대기상과 마찬가지로 부흥을 비롯한 영적인 관점에서 말한 제사장의 관점에서 쓰여졌습니다. 이 역시 유배 이후에 쓰여졌으며 여호와께 대한 올바른 예배에 초점을 맞추고 있습니다.


•    Chapters 1-9 teach the details of the reign of King Solomon. It covers the wisdom of Solomon, the building and construction of the temple in Jerusalem, which was dedicated to the Lord God. “and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (7:14).
1-9장에서는 솔로몬 왕의 통치 기간에 대해 자세히 설명합니다. 솔로몬의 지혜, 주 하나님께 바쳐진 예루살렘 성전 건축과 건설에 대해 다룹니다. "내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라"(7:14).


•    Chapters 10-36 describe the events in the split of the nation of Israel. The nation split into two kingdoms: North and South. The Northern Kingdom revolted against King Rehoboam, and took a new king; his name was Jeroboam. 2nd Chronicles focuses mainly from here, on the events of the Southern Kingdom. These include 20 kings and are a dynasty from King David. These chapters describe the events all the way up through the Northern Kingdom and its captivity to Babylon. Nevertheless, the mercy of the Lord is seen in the last two verses of this book. Cyprus, King of Persia declares that the remnant of Israel may return to Jerusalem, “in order to fulfill the word of the LORD” (36:22).
10~36장에서는 이스라엘 민족이 분열된 사건을 설명합니다. 이스라엘은 두 왕국으로 분열되었습니다: 북왕국과 남왕국. 북왕국은 르호보암 왕에게 반란을 일으켜 새로운 왕을 세웠는데, 그의 이름은 여로보암이었어요. 역대하는 주로 남왕국의 사건에 초점을 맞추고 있습니다. 여기에는 20명의 왕이 등장하며 다윗 왕으로부터 이어진 왕조입니다. 이 장에서는 북왕국까지의 사건과 바벨론 포로기까지를 다루고 있습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 책의 마지막 두 구절에서 주님의 자비를 볼 수 있습니다. 페르시아 왕 고레스는 이스라엘의 남은 자들이 "여호와의 말씀을 이루기 위해"(36:22) 예루살렘으로 돌아갈 수 있다고 선언합니다.
