As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz
Ahaz was the king of Judah from approximately 732 to 716 BC. His reign is noted for its significant departure from the religious practices of his predecessors. Ahaz is often criticized for his idolatry and for leading Judah into practices that were contrary to the worship of Yahweh. His acts include making alliances with foreign powers, such as Assyria, which had long-term negative consequences for Judah. This phrase suggests that there were many other actions and decisions made by Ahaz that are not detailed in this particular biblical account.

along with his accomplishments
Despite his negative portrayal, Ahaz did have accomplishments, though they are often viewed through the lens of his failures. He is known for his political maneuvers, such as seeking the aid of Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria to fend off threats from Israel and Aram. However, these accomplishments are overshadowed by his religious reforms, which included the introduction of Assyrian religious practices and the alteration of the temple in Jerusalem. These actions are seen as leading Judah further away from the covenant with God.

are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
This phrase refers to a historical record that is no longer extant but was likely a detailed account of the reigns of the kings of Judah. The Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah is distinct from the biblical books of Chronicles and served as a source for the authors of Kings. This reference underscores the historical nature of the biblical narrative, suggesting that the events of Ahaz's reign were well-documented and known to the original audience. It also implies that the biblical account is selective, focusing on theological and moral lessons rather than exhaustive historical detail.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Ahaz
King of Judah, known for his unfaithfulness to God and for leading Judah into idolatry. His reign is marked by political alliances that compromised the spiritual integrity of the nation.

2. Judah
The southern kingdom of Israel, which Ahaz ruled. During his reign, Judah faced significant threats from surrounding nations and internal spiritual decline.

3. The Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah
A historical record that documented the reigns of the kings of Judah, including their deeds and accomplishments.
Teaching Points
The Consequences of Unfaithfulness
Ahaz's reign serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of turning away from God. His political and spiritual decisions led to negative consequences for himself and his nation.

The Importance of Godly Leadership
Leaders are called to uphold God's standards and lead their people in righteousness. Ahaz's failure highlights the impact of leadership on a nation's spiritual health.

The Role of Historical Records
The mention of the Book of the Chronicles underscores the importance of historical records in understanding and learning from the past. It reminds us to reflect on history to avoid repeating mistakes.

Trust in God's Promises
Ahaz's lack of faith in God's promises, as seen in Isaiah 7, contrasts with the call for believers to trust in God's faithfulness and provision.(19) Which he did.--Some MSS., and the LXX., Syriac, and Arabic have the usual formula, "and all which he did."

Verses 19, 20. - The death of Ahaz. The writer terminates his account of the reign of Ahaz with his usual formulae, which in this instance are wholly colorless. Ahaz's acts were written in the book of the chronicles of the kings; he died, and was buried with his fathers; Hezekiah, his son, reigned in his stead. This is all that he thinks it needful to say. Verse 19. - Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? The writer of Chronicles adds some important facts not found in the narrative of Kings. Among them are the following:

(1) The complete defeat of Ahaz by Pekah, who "smote him with a great slaughter" (2 Chronicles 28:5), killing a hundred and twenty thousand of his soldiers, and carrying Off two hundred thousand captives, men, women, and children (2 Chronicles 28:8); these captives were, however, afterwards restored (ver. 15).

(2) His defeat by the Syrians (ver. 5). This is, perhaps, implied in 2 Kings 16:6; but it is not expressly stated.

(3) His defeat by the Edomites, who invaded his land, and made a largo number of prisoners (2 Chronicles 28:17). . . .
