If you believe that the chronologies are only there to "establish descendency" and would therefore only be relevant to the Hebrews in order to provide legitimacy for their kings, then why would any of the OT be relevant to or even be describing any actual human history besides that of the Hebrews?
the chronologies are there indeed to establish kingly descendency, but not for the kings you might think,
Let me just say that if you took the Messiah out of the OT, there would be no OT. Likewise, if the Messiah had not arrived, there would also be no New Testament.
