Humor in Chronicles?

Humor in Chronicles? May 17, 2011

Tim Bulkeley is looking for humor everywhere in the Bible, and is stuck the same place that I got stuck the first time I tried to read the Bible from start to finish as a teenager: Chronicles.

Is there humor in Chronicles? The best I could come up with is the rendering of 2 Chronicles 7:22 in The Message: “And Israel will be nothing but a bad joke among the peoples of the world.”

So is there humor in Chronicles? If nothing else, there’s a “bad joke” in one paraphrase.

Can anyone reading this come up with any good jokes in Chronicles?
