18So King Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers—Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem. 19As for the rest of the acts of Joash, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 20And the servants of Joash rose up and formed a conspiracy and killed him at Beth-millo, on the road down to Silla.…

As for the rest of the acts of Joash
This phrase introduces a summary statement about King Joash's reign. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "ma'aseh," which can refer to deeds, works, or accomplishments. Joash's reign was marked by significant events, including the repair of the Temple, which was a major religious reform. His acts are a testament to his leadership and the impact he had on Judah's spiritual and political life. The phrase suggests that there is more to Joash's account than what is recorded in this particular passage, inviting readers to explore further.

along with all that he did
This phrase emphasizes the comprehensive nature of Joash's actions during his reign. The Hebrew word "kol" means "all" or "everything," indicating that Joash's reign was filled with numerous activities and decisions. Historically, Joash's reign was a time of both religious reform and political challenges. His efforts to restore the Temple highlight his commitment to the worship of Yahweh, yet his reign also faced difficulties, including threats from external enemies and internal strife.

are they not written
This rhetorical question implies that the detailed records of Joash's reign are documented elsewhere. The use of rhetorical questions in Hebrew literature often serves to affirm the certainty of a statement. It suggests that the reader can find a more detailed account of Joash's reign in another source, underscoring the importance of written records in preserving history and ensuring accountability.

in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah
This phrase refers to a historical record that chronicled the reigns of the kings of Judah. The "Book of the Chronicles" is not the same as the biblical books of 1 and 2 Chronicles but was likely an official royal archive. The existence of such records highlights the importance of documentation in ancient Israelite society. It also points to the meticulous nature of historical recording in the ancient Near East, where kings' deeds were preserved for posterity. This phrase reassures the reader that Joash's full account is preserved, even if not all details are included in the biblical narrative.

Verses 19-21. - The close of the reign of Joash - his murder by his servants. Again the narrative of Kings is to be supplemented by that of Chronicles. From Chronicles we learn that, before the withdrawal of the Syrians, Joash had fallen into a severe illness, which confined him to his apartment (2 Chronicles 24:25). This gave opportunity for conspiracy. Among the courtiers were two, perhaps more, whom the fate of Zechariah had grieved, and who were probably opposed to the entire series of later changes in religion which had been sanctioned by Joash (2 Chronicles 24:17, 18). These persons "made a conspiracy," which was successful, and "slew Joash on his bed" (2 Chronicles 24:25). They then buried him in Jerusalem, but "not in the sepulchers of the kings." Verse 19. - And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the chronicles of the kings of Judah? This formal phrase, with which he concludes his account of almost every Jewish king (1 Kings 14:29; 1 Kings 15:7, 23; 1 Kings 22:45; 2 Kings 8:23; 2 Kings 14:18; 2 Kings 15:6, etc.), cannot be regarded as an acknowledgment by the author of any special or designed reticence with respect to the reign of Joash. We must suppose him unconscious of any such design. He had to omit much in every case; in the present he happened to omit all the darker shades; and the result was an over-favorable portraiture of the monarch. But, in the providence of God, complete historical justice was secured by the labors and researches of a second inspired writer.
