Hey everyone. This is Taylor Halverson from Book of Mormon Central. We've had a lot of requests to add our weekly Come Follow Me videos with myself and Tyler Griffin to our podcast. We are very excited to do this. However, just know that we use a lot of visuals in our videos. So if you ever want to see the visuals, check out Book of Mormon Central on YouTube. We hope you enjoy. I'm Taylor. And I'm Tyler.

This is Book of Mormon Central's. Come follow me insights. Today, Ezra and Nehemiah with

additional selections from Second Chronicles.

Yeah, we couldn't just jump into Ezra and Nehemiah without going back and picking up just one story

from First and Second Chronicles. And it's largely, if you read those two books, they're not

covered in the Come Follow Me curriculum this year. First Chronicles has a lot of people mentioned,

a lot of names. Second Chronicles actually throws in a couple of stories that you don't get anywhere

else expounded. So we wanted to grab at least just one story, and then we're going to jump

into Ezra and Nehemiah. And just for your curiosity, First and Second Kings and First

and Second Chronicles in some ways follow very similar timelines,

but are slightly different scribal or editorial or inspired writers' perspectives.

Kind of like the four Gospels, where you have four different people, each expressing their testimony of Jesus,

sometimes in slightly different ways. And First and Second King seemed

to have been written by people who had a Northern Kingdom of Israel perspective, where

First and Second Chronicle seems to have been primarily composed by people in the Kingdom of Judah,

who were very supportive of King David and his dynasty.

So it's just some potential connections.

So in this particular chapter that we're going to cover,

it's Second Chronicles chapter 20.

You get this story of King Jehoshaphat,

and as Taylor already mentioned,

he's king of this southern kingdom of Judah well after the split
