.
Journal of Jewish Studies, 60 (1): 5 - 17 (2009)

Abstract

The article focuses on some medieval commentaries regarding the participation of prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi in the composition of genealogical tables of the book of Chronicles. It cites the contention of Judah Ibn Quraysh that the chronologies are copied from the royal records containing the said information. It emphasizes the thesis of a Sa'adiah student that focuses on the involvement of Ezra in the Chronicles and exposes the contribution of the three prophets.
