More to the Story

Commentators explain that this verse is a standard concluding formula for a king's reign. They note that the 'book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah' was a historical source, distinct from the biblical book of Chronicles. However, they clarify that many of Jotham's other significant acts, like his victory over Ammon and his building projects, are indeed recorded for us in 2 Chronicles 27.
