The verse points to the existence of detailed historical records that chronicled the reigns of the kings of Judah. These records, referred to as the annals, were likely comprehensive accounts of the political, social, and religious activities during a king's rule. The Bible often summarizes these events, providing a theological perspective on the reigns of different kings. This practice of documentation underscores the importance of history in understanding God's work through human leadership. It invites us to reflect on the significance of our actions and decisions, knowing they contribute to a larger narrative. By acknowledging the existence of these records, the verse also highlights the Bible's role in providing spiritual insights rather than exhaustive historical details. This encourages believers to seek wisdom from both scripture and historical context, recognizing the value of learning from the past to guide present and future actions.
As for the other events of Jotham’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
