Disruptions Externally-enforced, unwanted change. Think back to the last time you experienced a major disruption. What roots from the past did you cling to for continuity and comfort?

That appears to be the testimony of 1–2 Chronicles, written in response to the enforced exile of Israel to Babylon.
