The Bible's Historical Sources
Commentators explain that when the verse mentions 'the book of the kings of Israel and Judah,' it is not referring to the biblical books of 1 & 2 Kings. Instead, it points to a more extensive official state record, now lost, which the biblical author used as a primary source. This highlights that the Bible's authors were careful historians who consulted historical documents.
