As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah
This phrase introduces a common biblical formula used to summarize the reigns of kings in the books of Kings and Chronicles. 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 decisions that characterized Ahaziah's reign. Ahaziah, the son of Ahab and Jezebel, ruled the northern kingdom of Israel. His reign was marked by idolatry and a continuation of his parents' policies, which were contrary to the worship of Yahweh.

along with his accomplishments
The Hebrew word for "accomplishments" is "גְּבוּרָה" (gevurah), which can also mean "mighty deeds" or "strengths." This implies that Ahaziah's reign, though brief, included notable actions or events. However, from a conservative Christian perspective, these accomplishments are overshadowed by his failure to lead Israel back to the worship of the one true God. His reliance on Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for healing, as described earlier in the chapter, highlights his spiritual failings.

are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
This rhetorical question points to a common practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures of recording the deeds of kings in official annals. The "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel" is a lost historical record that would have contained detailed accounts of the reigns of the kings of Israel. This phrase underscores the historical nature of the biblical narrative, affirming that the events described were part of a larger historical context. From a conservative Christian viewpoint, this also emphasizes the reliability and historical grounding of the biblical text, even when some sources are no longer extant.

(18) The acts.--Dibre, i.e., history.

Which he did.--Some MSS. and the Syriac read "and all that he did," which seems correct.

The book of the chronicles of the kings.--See Introduction, and 1Kings 14:19.

Verse 18. - Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did. These may have included some months of warfare against Mesha, King of Moab, who seems to have rebelled at the very beginning of Ahaziah's reign (ver. 1 and 2 Kings 3:5). Mesha's war of independence consisted of a succession of sieges, whereby he recovered one by one the various strongholds in his territory, which were occupied by the Israelites - Medeba, Ataroth, Nebo, Jahaz, Horonaim, and others - expelling the foreign garrisons, rebuilding or strengthening the fortifications, and occupying the cities by garrisons of his own. On one occasion, at the siege of Nebo, he declares that he killed seven thousand men. He found in the town a place of worship containing vessels, which he regarded as "vessels of Jehovah" (Moabite Stone, line 18); these he took? and dedicated them to Chemosh, the special god of Moab. How much of the war fell into the reign of Ahaziah, and how much into that of Jehoram his brother, is uncertain. Are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the tines of Israel? Mesha's stone is a striking testimony to the contemporary record of historical events by the Palestinian monarchs of the time, which has sometimes been doubted.
