Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren`t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

The verse mentions historical records by the prophets Shemaiah and Iddo that are now lost. Commentator Charles Spurgeon explains that this should not be a concern. He argues that if these books were spiritually essential for us, God would have preserved them. Their absence should instead deepen our gratitude for the inspired Bible, which God has miraculously protected and passed down to us.
