As for the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz
This phrase introduces a common biblical formula used in the historical books of the Old Testament. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "דְּבָרִים" (devarim), which can also mean "words" or "matters." This suggests that the chronicler is referring to the full account of Jehoahaz's reign, beyond what is recorded in the current narrative. Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, was a king of Israel whose reign was marked by both political and spiritual challenges. His "acts" would include his political maneuvers, military campaigns, and religious policies, reflecting the complexity of his leadership in a time of national decline.

along with all his accomplishments
The term "accomplishments" in Hebrew is "גְּבוּרָה" (gevurah), which can also be translated as "mighty deeds" or "heroic acts." This indicates that Jehoahaz had notable achievements during his reign, despite the overarching narrative of Israel's struggles. Historically, this could refer to his efforts to defend Israel against external threats, particularly from the Arameans. The mention of his accomplishments serves as a reminder that even in times of national apostasy, God can work through leaders to achieve His purposes.

and his might
The word "might" is translated from the Hebrew "כֹּחַ" (koach), meaning strength or power. This highlights Jehoahaz's personal capabilities and the strength he exhibited as a leader. In the biblical context, a king's might was often demonstrated through military prowess and the ability to maintain order and justice. However, the true measure of a king's might in the biblical narrative is often tied to his faithfulness to God, which Jehoahaz struggled with, as indicated by the spiritual decline during his reign.

are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
This rhetorical question points to a common practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures of maintaining detailed annals or records of a king's reign. The "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel" is a lost historical document that presumably contained a more comprehensive account of the reigns of the kings of Israel. This reference underscores the historical reliability of the biblical narrative, suggesting that the events recorded were well-documented and known to the original audience. It also serves as a reminder of the limitations of the biblical text, which focuses on theological rather than exhaustive historical detail, emphasizing God's sovereignty and the spiritual lessons to be learned from Israel's history.

(8) And his might.--Or, prowess. The reference is to his wars with the Syrians.

Verse 8. - Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might; rather, his prowess, or his valor. Though defeated and reduced to subjection by the Syrians, yet Jehoahaz had distinguished himself, and shown his own personal courage, in the course of the war. Are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? (comp. 2 Kings 1:18). The regular use of the phrase is one of the indications that the two Books of the Kings are by one author, and form one book.
