2 Chronicles 27
1. Jotham Reigns in Judah














As for the rest of the acts of Jotham
Jotham was the son of Uzziah and reigned as king of Judah. His reign is noted for his faithfulness to God, unlike some of his predecessors and successors. The phrase suggests that there were additional deeds and accomplishments of Jotham not detailed in this particular account, indicating a fuller narrative elsewhere. This reflects the common biblical practice of summarizing a king's reign while pointing to other sources for more comprehensive details.

along with all his wars and his ways
Jotham's reign was marked by military campaigns and construction projects, including fortifying cities and building towers. His military actions were significant in maintaining the security and stability of Judah during his time. The mention of "his ways" implies his governance style and personal conduct, which were generally seen as righteous and in accordance with God's laws, as he did not follow in the sinful ways of his father Uzziah.

they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah
This reference points to a historical record that chronicled the reigns of the kings of both Israel and Judah. While this specific book is not part of the current biblical canon, it suggests that there were other historical documents used as sources for the biblical narrative. This practice of referencing other works underscores the historical nature of the biblical accounts and the importance of written records in ancient times. The mention of both Israel and Judah highlights the divided kingdom period, emphasizing the separate yet intertwined histories of the two nations.
