As for the rest of the acts of Jehu
The phrase "the rest of the acts" suggests a comprehensive account of Jehu's reign beyond what is detailed in the immediate text. In Hebrew, the word for "acts" is "ma'aseh," which can also mean deeds or works. This implies a focus on the tangible outcomes of Jehu's leadership. Jehu was a king who executed God's judgment on the house of Ahab, and his acts were significant in the history of Israel. His reign was marked by both zeal for the Lord and political cunning, reflecting the complexity of his character and leadership.

along with all his accomplishments
The term "accomplishments" in Hebrew is "gevurah," which can also mean achievements or heroic deeds. This highlights Jehu's military prowess and strategic successes. Historically, Jehu's accomplishments included the eradication of Baal worship in Israel, which was a significant religious reform. His actions were in line with the prophetic mandate given to him, showcasing his role as an instrument of divine justice.

and all his might
"Might" in Hebrew is "koach," denoting strength or power. This emphasizes Jehu's physical and political strength. Jehu's might was not only in his military campaigns but also in his ability to consolidate power and establish his dynasty. His might was a testament to his ability to fulfill God's purposes, despite the moral and ethical complexities of his methods.

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 royal annals. The "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel" is a historical record that is no longer extant but was likely a detailed account of the reigns of the kings of Israel. This reference underscores the historical reliability and the importance of Jehu's reign in the broader narrative of Israel's history. It also serves as a reminder of the divine oversight in the recording of history, where God's purposes are ultimately fulfilled through human actions.

(34) All his might.--Comp. 2Kings 20:20; 1Kings 15:23; some MSS., the Targum, and Vulg. omit "all." The LXX. adds: "and the conspiracies which he conspired."

Verse 34. - Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might. This last phrase is remarkable, considering that Jehu's wars, after he became king, seem to have been entirely unsuccessful ones, that he lost a large portion of his dominions to Syria, and (as appears by the Black Obelisk) paid tribute to the Assyrians ('Records of the Past,' vol. 5. p. 41). "Might" has been ascribed by the writer of Kings only to Baasha and Omri among previous Israelite monarchs, and only to Asa and Jehoshaphat among previous Jewish ones. "All his might" has only been used of Asa. We must probably understand, that, although defeated, Jehu gained much distinction, by his personal prowess and other military qualities, in the Syrian wars, and was reckoned "a mighty man of valor" in spite of the ill success of his wars. Are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? (see the comment on 2 Kings 1:18).
