Yes, 1 and 2 Chronicles are a recap of the events of 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings. Some passages are pretty much word-for-word repeats, others are summaries or add new material.
I always find it a little frustrating to get to this point. 1 and 2 Kings are definitely not my favourite books of the Bible and as soon as you finish them you have it all again.
But as I've said before, the least popular bits of the Bible are often the bits that you most benefit from paying attention to. So let's see what we find...
