The Book of Judges tells the story of Israel after they settled in the land of Canaan.
The book of Joshua ends with the words, “Israel served the Lord” (Joshua 24:31), but the opposite is true in the book of Judges.
Israel forgets God, falls into idolatry, and eventually suffers oppression from foreign nations.
Each time, Israel cried out to God, and God sent judges to save them.

As we follow the stories of the characters in 1 Samuel, we come to a profound realization that God does not look at outward appearances, but at the heart.
We also clearly see that the kings of Israel, unlike the kings of foreign nations, must be completely obedient to God's word.

We learn more and more that David was a great king, but not a perfect king.
David's many mistakes and sins point us to a better king, the one who would come as the perfect king of Israel.
Jesus Christ walks a completely different path from David, who was obsessed with fleshly lusts and abused his power.
He is a king, but he humbles himself by giving his life for his people and dying on the cross.

The Book of Kings begins with the death of David and the ascension of Solomon to the throne, and covers the division of Israel into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.

Then, several kings of the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah appear, and both nations gradually move away from God's covenant.

In the end, the northern kingdom of Israel was destroyed by Assyria, and the southern kingdom of Judah was destroyed by Babylon.

Chronicles is based on the historical records of Samuel and Kings, but was written to remind the Israelites who returned from captivity of God's covenant.

The Chronicles begins with the scene of Solomon building and dedicating the temple, and ends with the story of the destruction of the southern kingdom of Judah by Babylon and the people being taken captive.
It does not cover the history of the northern kingdom of Israel, but focuses solely on the kings of the southern kingdom of Judah, particularly Hezekiah and Josiah, who attempted reforms centered on the temple and the law.

The post-exilic period, the period of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, vividly illustrates how God's people should live in faith in a foreign land and amidst real-world difficulties.
