As for the rest of the acts of Pekah
The phrase "As for the rest of the acts of Pekah" introduces us to the broader narrative of Pekah's reign. Pekah was a king of Israel, and his reign was marked by political instability and idolatry. The Hebrew word for "acts" (מַעֲשִׂים, ma'asim) often refers to deeds or works, suggesting that Pekah's actions were significant enough to be recorded. Historically, Pekah's reign was during a tumultuous period in Israel's history, characterized by alliances and conflicts with neighboring nations, including Assyria. This phrase invites us to consider the broader implications of leadership and the legacy one leaves behind.

and all that he did
This phrase emphasizes the comprehensive nature of Pekah's actions. The Hebrew word for "all" (כֹּל, kol) signifies totality, indicating that every significant deed of Pekah was documented. In a spiritual context, this reminds us that God is aware of all our actions, both public and private. Pekah's reign, which included the assassination of his predecessor and conflicts with Judah, serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of turning away from God's commandments.

are they not written
The rhetorical question "are they not written" suggests that the deeds of Pekah were well-documented and accessible to the people of that time. This phrase underscores the importance of historical records in understanding God's dealings with His people. It also highlights the accountability of leaders, as their actions are recorded for posterity. In a spiritual sense, it reminds believers that our lives are an open book before God, and we are accountable for our actions.

in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
The "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel" refers to a historical record that detailed the reigns of the kings of Israel. While this specific book is not part of the biblical canon, it served as a source for the authors of Kings and Chronicles. The mention of this book indicates the existence of other historical documents that corroborate the biblical narrative. From a conservative Christian perspective, this affirms the reliability and historical accuracy of the Scriptures. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of recording and preserving history, as it provides valuable lessons for future generations.

Verse 31. - And the rest of the acts of Pekah and all that he did (see the comment on vers. 27-31), behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
