Abstract:
This article explores the theme of heroism within the Book of Chronicles. The study explores the portrayal of heroism within the genealogical lists (1 Chron 1-9) and the narratives featuring the monarchs (1 Chron 10-2 Chron 36). The analytical findings reveal a discernible dichotomy drawn by the author, wherein the tribe of Benjamin embodies one extreme, and Solomon represents the opposite. Positioned between these extremes is King David, whom the author perceives as epitomizing the synthesis of heroic attributes.
