I heard that of Chronicles and Kings, Chronicles is purported to be a record of what happened, but Kings is supposed to be a "theologically enhanced" version with symbolism, foreshadowing, motifs and other literary devices and its purpose is to be more moralistic.

Is this supported anywhere?

note: I'm looking for an explanation acceptable to the Orthodox scholars i.e. what is the purpose of the differences
