As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah
This phrase introduces a summary of King Amaziah's reign, suggesting that what follows is a brief account. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "ma'aseh," which can also mean deeds or works. This implies a focus on the significant events and accomplishments of Amaziah's life. Historically, Amaziah was the king of Judah who reigned in the 8th century BC. His reign was marked by both faithfulness and failure, illustrating the complexity of human leadership and the importance of obedience to God.

from beginning to end
This phrase indicates a comprehensive account of Amaziah's life and reign. The Hebrew words "techillah" (beginning) and "qets" (end) emphasize the totality of his story. In a spiritual sense, this reminds us that God is interested in the entirety of our lives, from start to finish. It also reflects the biblical principle that one's life is a journey, and how we begin and end matters greatly in the eyes of God.

are they not written
This rhetorical question suggests that the detailed records of Amaziah's reign are documented elsewhere. The Hebrew verb "kathab" means to write or inscribe, indicating the importance of recording history. This practice of documentation underscores the value of preserving history for future generations to learn from past successes and failures.

in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
This phrase refers to a historical record that chronicled the reigns of the kings of both Judah and Israel. The "Book of the Kings" is believed to be a source document used by the authors of the biblical books of Kings and Chronicles. This highlights the interconnectedness of the biblical narrative and the importance of historical context in understanding God's dealings with His people. The mention of both Judah and Israel signifies the divided kingdom period, a time of political and spiritual challenges, reminding us of the need for unity and faithfulness to God.

(26) First and last.--The former and the latter. The chronicler adds his usual formula.

Behold, are they not written.--The Hebrew is faulty here. "Behold, they are written" is the customary phrase in the Chronicles (2Chronicles 20:34; 2Chronicles 24:27); "are they not written" being that of Kings. In the Hebrew text here the two phrases are blended. Some- MSS., and the Syriac, Vulg., and Arabic read, "Behold, they are written." But it is possible that hinn?m ("behold they") is here a corruption of h?m ("they"); and that the reading of Kings should be followed, with other Hebrew MSS. and the Targum.

Verse 26. - The book of the kings of Judah and Israel. The parallel has "the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah." Considering the amount and the character of the resemblance that we have noticed between the narratives in Kings and in our own text, and assuming that the work to which each compiler calls attention for the fuller elucidation of his subject of biography is the work which he has himself most largely laid under 'contribution, then we should justly feel in this instance that we had no feeble argument for the identity of the two works, called by rather different titles - by the writer of the pre-Captivity, "the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah," and by him of the post-Captivity, "the book of the kings of Judah and Israel."
