Context — The Idolatry of Ahaz
24Then Ahaz gathered up the articles of the house of God, cut them into pieces, shut the doors of the house of the LORD, and set up altars of his own on every street corner in Jerusalem.
25In every city of Judah he built high places to offer incense to other gods, and so he provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers.
26As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz and all his ways, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
27And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of Jerusalem, but he was not placed in the tombs of the kings of Israel. And his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.Cross References

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 28:26
CLOSING NOTICES (2 Chronicles 28:26-27. Comp. 2 Kings 16:19-20). (26) Now the rest of his acts, and of all his ways.—The chronicler has varied the usual formula. (See chapter 25:26, 26:7, &c., and comp. 2 Kings 16:19.)But (for) they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel.—Wanting in Kings. (See Note on chaps, 21:20, 26:23.) Thenius supposes that this statement is founded either upon mistake, or upon zeal for the Law. But why not upon a written authority?
