Berean Study Bible

As for the rest of the acts of Pekahiah
The phrase "the rest of the acts" suggests that the biblical narrative provides only a summary of Pekahiah's reign. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "ma'aseh," which can also mean deeds or works. This implies that Pekahiah's reign, though briefly mentioned, was filled with significant actions and decisions. Historically, Pekahiah was a king of Israel during a tumultuous period marked by political instability and idolatry. His reign was part of the larger narrative of the Northern Kingdom's decline, emphasizing the consequences of turning away from God.

and all that he did
This phrase underscores the comprehensive nature of Pekahiah's actions during his reign. The Hebrew word "kol" for "all" indicates the totality of his deeds, suggesting that every aspect of his leadership was recorded. From a scriptural perspective, this serves as a reminder that God is aware of all human actions, and nothing is hidden from His sight. It also reflects the biblical principle that leaders are accountable for their actions, both good and bad.

are they not written
The rhetorical question "are they not written" implies certainty and serves as a literary device to affirm the existence of a more detailed account. This phrase suggests that the historical records were well-known and accessible to the original audience. It highlights the importance of documentation and the preservation of history, which was a common practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures. For believers, it underscores the reliability of Scripture and the importance of recording God's dealings with His people.

in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
The "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel" refers to a historical record that is no longer extant but was used as a source for the biblical authors. This book likely contained detailed accounts of the reigns of the kings of Israel, serving as a historical archive. The mention of this book emphasizes the historical context of the biblical narrative and the meticulous nature of record-keeping in ancient Israel. For the conservative Christian, it reinforces the belief in the divine inspiration of Scripture, as the biblical authors were guided by the Holy Spirit to select and preserve the essential truths for God's people.
