As for the rest of the acts of Abijah
This phrase introduces the idea that the biblical account of Abijah's reign is not exhaustive. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "דִּבְרֵי" (divrei), which can also mean "words" or "matters." This suggests that the chronicler is referring to the significant events and deeds of Abijah's life. Historically, Abijah was the king of Judah, and his reign was marked by conflict with Jeroboam of Israel. The chronicler's focus on "the rest" implies that there is more to Abijah's account than what is recorded in the canonical text, pointing to the existence of other historical records.

along with his ways and his words
The phrase "his ways and his words" highlights the character and speech of Abijah. "Ways" (Hebrew: "דְּרָכָיו," derakhav) often refers to one's conduct or behavior, while "words" (Hebrew: "מִלָּיו," millav) refers to spoken expressions or declarations. This dual focus on actions and speech underscores the biblical principle that both deeds and words are important in evaluating a person's life. Abijah's ways and words, as recorded in other texts, would provide a fuller picture of his leadership and spiritual state.

they are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo
The mention of the "Treatise of the Prophet Iddo" indicates that there were other historical documents that chronicled the reigns of the kings of Judah. Iddo was a prophet during the time of Solomon, Rehoboam, and Abijah, and his writings are referenced elsewhere in the Bible (e.g., 2 Chronicles 12:15). The Hebrew term for "treatise" is "מִדְרַשׁ" (midrash), which can mean a commentary or an exposition. This suggests that Iddo's work was not merely a historical record but also included interpretative elements. The existence of such writings points to a rich tradition of prophetic literature that provided spiritual insights and historical context for the people of Israel.

(22) And his ways and his sayings.--Or works. The same word has just been rendered acts. There is an alliteration in the Hebrew, u-der?khav u-debh?rav.

Story.--Midrash. See margin. For the source here referred to, see Introduction, ? 6.

Verse 22 - The story of the Prophet Iddo, If this be the same work as that mentioned in 2 Chronicles 12:15 (see our note there),it is, at any rate, not called by the same title, but by the name well known for memoirs, of Midrash.
