The two books of Chronicles (Hebrew דברי הימים divré ha-yamim, "things of the days"; Greek A'-B' Παραλειπομένων 1-2 Paraleipomenōn, "I and II [book] of omissions"; Latin 1-2 Paralipomenon) are two texts contained in the "Tanakh" (where they are counted as a single text) and in the Christian Bible.

They are written in Hebrew and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, their final editing, by unknown authors, is placed around 330-250 BC in Judea. They represent a reworking of the history of the Jews already narrated in other historical texts.

The first book consists of 29 chapters containing various genealogies from Adam to David and a description of his reign (until about 970 BC). The second book consists of 36 chapters describing the reign of Solomon and the history of the kingdom of Judah, its destruction, the Babylonian exile and return (from about 970 BC to 538 BC)
