As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat
This phrase introduces a summary of Jehoshaphat's reign, indicating that his deeds were numerous and significant. The Hebrew word for "acts" (מַעֲשִׂים, ma'asim) often refers to deeds or works, emphasizing the importance of actions in the biblical narrative. Jehoshaphat was a king of Judah known for his faithfulness to God, and his acts included religious reforms and military campaigns. His reign is a testament to the importance of aligning one's actions with divine will, a principle that resonates throughout Scripture.

from beginning to end
This phrase underscores the comprehensive nature of the record of Jehoshaphat's reign. The Hebrew words "from beginning to end" (מִרֵּאשִׁית וְעַד אַחֲרִית, mireishit ve'ad acharit) suggest a complete account, highlighting the biblical theme of God's sovereignty over the entirety of one's life. It reminds believers that God is interested in the full scope of our lives, from start to finish, and that our faith journey is a continuous process.

they are written in the Chronicles of Jehu son of Hanani
This reference to the "Chronicles of Jehu" indicates that there were other historical records outside of the biblical text that documented the history of Israel and Judah. Jehu, the son of Hanani, was a prophet, and his chronicles likely contained prophetic insights and historical accounts. This highlights the role of prophets in recording and interpreting history, serving as a reminder of the importance of divine revelation in understanding the past.

which is recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel
The "Book of the Kings of Israel" is a historical source that chronicled the reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah. This phrase points to the existence of other historical documents that were used as sources for the biblical narrative. It emphasizes the meticulous nature of biblical historiography and the importance of preserving history. For conservative Christians, this serves as a reminder of the reliability and divine inspiration of Scripture, as it draws from well-documented historical records.

(34) Now the rest of the acts.--1Kings 22:45 : "Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? "The expression how he warred hints at his victory over the three allies. "As to the historical foundation of this victory there can be no doubt, after what has been noted by Hitzig on Joel, Einleit. u. 4, 2; and by Ewald, Gesch. Isr. iii. 510, ff." (Thenius).

In the book (story).--Literally, words.

Who is mentioned.--Which is inscribed (h?'al?h, see 1Kings 9:21; 2Chronicles 8:8), or entered, in the book, &c. So the Syriac, "which is written in the book of the kings of Israel." "The words of Jehu the son of Hanani is the title of a prophetic monograph here referred to as incorporated in the "Book of the Kings of Israel."

Verse 34. - The rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, etc. These "acts of Jehoshaphat" are said in this verse to find their record in the book of Jehu... mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel. The parallel has, "in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah." For our "mentioned," note margin, literal, made to ascend and Revised Version "inserted." The "book of the kings of Israel" may (note also the remarkable apparent misnomers of our writer, as illustrated by 2 Chronicles 12:6; 2 Chronicles 21:2, 4) very possibly be one with the parallel, "book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah" (see our 'Introduction,' 1 Chronicles, pp. 7, 8.). Of this larger collected cyclopaedia of royal biography, Jehu's account (דִּבְרֵי) of Jehoshaphat was one component part. Though Jehu's (דִבְרֵי) book is not mentioned elsewhere, he himself is particularly in 1 Kings 16:1, as well as in our ch. 19:2.
