The writers of Chronicles probably wrote these books for the Jews who returned from exile in Babylon. The purpose was to teach the people to avoid disobeying God as their ancestors did.

The books of Chronicles and the books of Kings tell much of the same history, but they are not exactly the same. The writers of Chronicles were not simply retelling history.
