As for the rest of the acts of Baasha
This phrase introduces a summary of Baasha's reign, indicating that there were additional deeds and events not detailed in the current narrative. The Hebrew word for "acts" (מַעֲשִׂים, ma'asim) often refers to deeds or works, suggesting a comprehensive account of Baasha's reign. Historically, Baasha was the third king of the northern kingdom of Israel, and his reign was marked by political intrigue and conflict. This phrase sets the stage for understanding that his rule was significant enough to warrant further documentation.

along with all his accomplishments and might
The term "accomplishments" (עֲשָׂיָה, asayah) implies achievements or successful endeavors, while "might" (גְּבוּרָה, geburah) refers to strength or power. Baasha's reign was characterized by military strength and political maneuvering, as he established his dynasty by overthrowing the previous king, Nadab. This phrase highlights the dual nature of his reign—both his achievements and the power he wielded. From a conservative Christian perspective, this serves as a reminder of the temporal nature of earthly power and the ultimate sovereignty of God over human affairs.

are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
This rhetorical question points to an external source, the "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel," which is not part of the biblical canon but was a historical record of the kings' reigns. The existence of such records underscores the historical reality of these events and the meticulous documentation practices of ancient Israel. For conservative Christians, this reference affirms the reliability and historical grounding of the biblical narrative, as it aligns with other historical records of the time. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of recording and remembering history, as it provides lessons and insights for future generations.

Verse 5. - Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might [as to which see 1 Kings 15:17-21. He could hardly have given a stronger proof of his might thou by fortifying a post but five miles distant from Jerusalem. Keil, however, would interpret the word, both here and in 1 Kings 15:23, of his energy and strength in government. Better Bahr, tapfere Thaten. Ewald hence infers that Baasha was "a man of distinguished bravery"], are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
