The 2 books of Chronicles tell the story of Israel from Adam to the post-exile period in Babylon with much use of genealogies and records. Much focus is on King David, God's covenant with Israel, the building of the temple by King Solomon and thus covers much history covered previously in the books of Samuel and Kings.
Chapter 1 starts with genealogical records starting with Adam then Noah and his sons. It mentions Enoch who never died and Methuselah who was the man who lived the longest of all. It then traces people to Abraham and his descendants, Isaac, Esau and Jacob (Israel) etc. These records helped post-exilic Israelites to trace their origins.
