The Book of Chronicles was probably written shortly after the Return from the Babylonian Exile, by an anonymous author. It is clearly based on the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings), with changes to remove some obvious inconsistencies and to suit the theology of the time. During the Christian Era, The Book of Chronicles was split into tow books, 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles, due to the difficulty of fitting the entire text onto a single roll of papyrus.
The author of the Book of Chronicles was anonymous, so we therefore do not know who wrote 1 Chronicles or 2 Chronicles.The author is simply referred to as "the Chronicler". Because of similarities in style, he may also have been the author of the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
