In the other historical books of the Holy Scripture many things that really fit the aim of the Holy Scripture have been omitted, but they were put in this book, therefore the one who looks out carefully will find here what is missing in single passages in the other books. And because this is the name which is suitable to this book, according to its characteristics, the Latins kept this name, even if it is Greek, not taking into account the Jewish name. Sometimes, however, we call this book “Book of Chronicles” according to the consonance with the Jewish name. So it is said by Hieronymus in the Prologus Galeatus about the Books of the Kings. The seventh book is Dibrehaiamim, namely “The words of the days”, which we can call a very distinctive beginning of the whole divine history, a book that is titled for us the First and the Second Book of Paralipomenon.
