1. Bible – Old Testament – 2 Chronicles
A retelling of many of the stories from the Books of Kings from a slightly different perspective
According to Jewish tradition, Ezra wrote Chronicles and Jeremiah wrote Kings.
Kings was written before the Babylonian captivity (i.e., before 586 B.C.), while Chronicles was written afterwards 
You could say Chronicles was written to remind the Jewish people, who were going back to rebuild Jerusalem after the captivity in Babylon, of their history and especially of their more recent Regal history. Probably to encourage them.
