Kings vs. Chronicles
Commentators explain that this verse marks a shift back to Judah's history. The book of Kings provides only a brief summary of Jehoshaphat's reign because its primary focus is on the northern kingdom of Israel and its prophets. For a much fuller account of Jehoshaphat's significant reign and religious reforms, scholars direct readers to 2 Chronicles chapters 17-20.
