SCRIPTURE

"Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel." — 2 Chronicles 28:26 (ASV)

CLOSING NOTICES (2 Chronicles 28:26–27. Compare to 2 Kings 16:19–20).

Now the rest of his acts, and of all his ways. —The chronicler has varied the usual formula. (See 2 Chronicles 25:26, 2 Chronicles 26:7, and other similar passages, and compare to 2 Kings 16:19.)

But (for) they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. —This is absent from Kings. (See Note on 2 Chronicles 21:20 and 2 Chronicles 26:2–3.) Thenius supposes that this statement is based either upon mistake, or upon zeal for the Law. But why not upon a written authority?
