Summary: "The Expositor's Bible: The Books of Chronicles" by W. H. Bennett is a scholarly exposition written in the early 20th century.

The author, a professor of Old Testament Languages and Literature, aims to analyze the stories, genealogies, and rituals within Chronicles. The opening of the book introduces the author’s methodological approach, emphasizing the need to understand Chronicles in relation to its contemporaneous texts, specifically Ezra and Nehemiah.
