These Books are called by the Greek interpreters, Paralipomenon, thatis, of things left out, or omitted; because they are a kind of asupplement of such things as were passed over in the books of the Kings.The Hebrews call them Dibre Haijamim, that is, The words of the days, orThe Chronicles.—Not that they are the books which are so often quotedin the Kings, under the title of the words of the days of the kings ofIsrael, and of the kings of Juda: for the books of Paralipomenon werewritten after the books of Kings: but because in all probability theyhave been abridged from those ancient words of the days, by Esdras orsome other sacred writer.
