Now in Ezra

Here is a particularly vivid quote:

King Darius decrees that the Temple of the God is to be rebuilt. Darius is a Persian king. In it he writes: "Furthermore, I decree that if anyone changes this edict, a beam is to be pulled from his house and he is to be impaled on it."

In Genesis we are given two accounts of creation. The first is a sort of outline of what happened. Day one, day two, day three, etc. Then there is the story of man's creation, woman's creation and then the fall. The first account seems to give the overall setting and then the second is much more personal.

I haven't read far enough in to tell so all of this might be premature, but 1 and 2 Kings and 1 and 2 Chronicles seem much like the first chapter of Genesis. Mostly a listing of the kings, even their names seem impersonal. Perhaps the Prophets and the poetry books will be more personal as well.
