Scholars have traditionally argued that the Chronicler makes no critical comment on intermarriage, citing his omission of Solomon’s foreign wives as evidence of this position. This paper challenges this view by demonstrating how the Chronicler employs sophisticated literary strategies to preserve Kings’ critique of problematic marriages while shifting the emphasis from ethnic to religious considerations. Through a literary-rhetorical analysis, this study traces how the Chronicler strategically transfers key terminology (חתן “marriage alliance” and אהב “love”) from Solomon’s narrative in Kings to the accounts of Rehoboam and Jehoshaphat. In both narratives, the Chronicler presents a consistent pattern: periods of prosperity are disrupted by marriages with those who “hate YHWH,” leading to spiritual and political decline. Rehoboam’s special love for Maacah, who later promotes Asherah worship, parallels Solomon’s love for foreign women in Kings. Similarly, Jehoshaphat’s marriage alliance with Ahab introduces Athaliah, who becomes the primary agent of Judah’s apostasy, nearly destroying the Davidic dynasty itself. By examining these parallel narratives, this study reveals that the Chronicler’s primary concern is not ethnic intermarriage per se, but rather unions with those unfaithful to YHWH. This nuanced perspective offered the post-exilic community a clear warning about the dangers of marriage alliances with the unfaithful, while maintaining theological continuity with Kings’ critique of problematic marriages. This reading resolves the apparent tension between Chronicles’ seeming silence on Solomon’s marriages and its otherwise negative portrayal of certain marital unions.
