2 Kings 12:19 Summary

This verse, 2 Kings 12:19, tells us that there is more to King Joash's story than what is written in the Bible. It points us to other records, like the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, for more information. This reminds us that the Bible is a special book that gives us the most important details about God's work in the world, as seen in (John 20:30-31). Just like how we might keep a journal or scrapbook to remember special events, the Bible is like a spiritual journal that helps us remember God's love and faithfulness, as seen in (Psalm 77:11-12).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

The Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah is a historical record that contains the annals of the kings of Judah, as seen in 2 Kings 12:19 and 1 Kings 14:29, which suggests that these records were kept and available for reference.

Why does the verse refer to other written records?

The verse refers to other written records, such as the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, to point readers to additional information about King Joash's reign, similar to how the Gospel of John references other accounts of Jesus' life in John 21:25.

What can we learn from the fact that not all of King Joash's acts are recorded in Scripture?

The fact that not all of King Joash's acts are recorded in Scripture, as mentioned in 2 Kings 12:19, reminds us that the Bible is a selective history, highlighting the events and details that God wants us to know, as seen in John 20:30-31, where the apostle John notes that Jesus did many other things that are not recorded.

How does this verse fit into the larger narrative of 2 Kings?

This verse serves as a conclusion to the account of King Joash's reign in 2 Kings, providing a transition to the next section of the book, which will describe the reign of his son Amaziah, as seen in 2 Kings 14:1-22, and reminds us of the importance of consulting other historical records, like the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, for a more complete understanding of the period.

Verse 19. The rest of the acts of Joash] We have already seen that this man, so promising in the beginning of his reign, apostatized, became an idolater, encouraged idolatry among his subjects, and put the high priest Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada his benefactor, to death; and now God visited that blood upon him by the hands of the tyrannous king of Syria, and by his own servants.

Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 12:19

19. And [R.V. Now] the rest of the acts of Joash] Here and in the next verse the shorter form of the king’s name is introduced. Some of the acts of Joash have been noticed above on verse 17. The compiler of Kings seems to have thought it unnecessary to mention anything but the way in which the true heir was restored to the throne, and how in his days the temple was restored, the family of David and the service of Jehovah taking as it were new root at this time.
