Berean Study Bible

As for the rest of the acts of Joram
This phrase introduces a summary of King Joram's reign, suggesting that what follows is a mere glimpse of his deeds. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "דְּבָרִים" (devarim), which can also mean "words" or "matters." This indicates that the chronicler is referring to the significant events and decisions of Joram's life. Joram, also known as Jehoram, was a king of Judah whose reign was marked by idolatry and conflict. His acts, therefore, are a testament to the spiritual and political challenges faced by Judah during his time.

along with all his accomplishments
The term "accomplishments" in Hebrew is "גְּבוּרָה" (gevurah), often translated as "mighty deeds" or "strength." This suggests that Joram's reign included notable achievements, possibly in military or administrative realms. However, from a conservative Christian perspective, these accomplishments are overshadowed by his failure to lead the nation in righteousness. His alliance with the house of Ahab and continuation of idolatrous practices are seen as significant failures in his leadership.

are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
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 Judah" is a historical record that is no longer extant but was likely a detailed account of the reigns of the kings of Judah. The mention of this book underscores the historical reliability of the biblical narrative, affirming that the events described were documented in contemporary records. From a conservative viewpoint, this also highlights the importance of accountability and the lasting impact of a leader's actions, as they are recorded for posterity.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(23) The rest of the acts.--Or, history. (See especially 2Chronicles 21:11-19, and the Notes there.)

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 23. - And the rest of the sets of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Some of these acts are recorded in our present Second Book of Chronicles; e.g. his execution of his brothers and of many nobles (2 Chronicles 21:4); his erection of high places (2 Chronicles 21:11); his persecution of the followers of Jehovah (2 Chronicles 21:11); his reception of a writing from Elisha, which, however, had no effect upon his conduct (2 Chronicles 21:12-15); his war with the Philistines (2 Chronicles 21:16) and with the Arabs (2 Chronicles 21:16); his loss of all his sons but one during his lifetime; his long illness, and his painful death (2 Chronicles 21:18, 19). But the 'Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah' was a work on a larger scale than the extant Book of Chronicles, and probably went into much greater detail.
