Preview of the Answer.
The Books of Kings and Chronicles are based on the perception of heavenly revelation. These Old Testament books are highly associated with similar characteristics and differences including plentiful use of historical and literary sources by the writers instead of writing by divine inspiration and portrayal of Israel history with notable biases (LaSor, William Sanford et.al.). From a theological point of view, the two books share vast similarities and differences. Considerably, both books pay considerate attention to the worship of Yahweh and the temple in Jerusalem. Each writing praise the reigns.
