The same critic expresses his judgment concerning the historical value of the Chronicles in the same questions, by saying that he excludes their narrative in the time of the Persian Empire,1 makes their notice comparatively unimportant in our investigation. The relation and interdependence of these different portions agree, according to the critical theory, with the order of time just indicated.
