So all Israel was enrolled by genealogies
The phrase "all Israel" refers to the collective tribes of Israel, emphasizing unity among the people of God. The term "enrolled by genealogies" indicates a systematic recording of family lineages, which was crucial for maintaining tribal identities and inheritance rights. In Hebrew, the word for genealogies is "yachas," which implies a detailed lineage or descent. This practice underscores the importance of heritage and identity in the Jewish faith, serving as a reminder of God's promises to Abraham and his descendants. It also reflects the meticulous nature of the chronicler in preserving Israel's history and God's faithfulness through generations.

and these are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel
This phrase points to a historical record, "the Book of the Kings of Israel," which is not the same as the biblical books of 1 and 2 Kings but likely a separate historical document that chronicled the reigns and deeds of Israel's monarchs. The chronicler's reference to this book highlights the importance of written records in preserving the history and lessons of the past. It serves as a testament to the value placed on documentation and the transmission of knowledge, ensuring that future generations could learn from the successes and failures of their ancestors.

And Judah was taken into exile to Babylon
The mention of "Judah" specifically highlights the southern kingdom, which included the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The phrase "taken into exile to Babylon" refers to the Babylonian captivity, a pivotal event in Jewish history that occurred in 586 BC when Jerusalem was destroyed, and the people were deported. This exile was a fulfillment of prophetic warnings and served as a period of reflection and repentance for the Israelites. The Hebrew term for exile, "galut," conveys a sense of displacement and longing for return, symbolizing both physical and spiritual separation from the Promised Land.

for their unfaithfulness
The word "unfaithfulness" is translated from the Hebrew "ma'al," which denotes a breach of trust or covenant. This term encapsulates the spiritual adultery and idolatry that led to Judah's downfall. The chronicler emphasizes that the exile was not merely a political or military defeat but a direct consequence of the people's failure to remain faithful to God's covenant. This serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of obedience and faithfulness in the believer's relationship with God. It also highlights God's justice and mercy, as the exile ultimately led to a period of renewal and restoration for the Jewish people.

Verse 1. - So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies. The Hebrew verb (חִתְיַחְשׂי) is sufficiently satisfied by the rendering were enrolled, or were registered. The book of the kings of Israel and Judah. The book referred to is often styled "The book of the kings of Israel" (2 Chronicles 20:34; 2 Chronicles 33:18); and it is more probable that that is the intended title here, and that the words should follow thus: And Judah were carried captive to Babylon because of their transgressions. This the Masoretic accenting dictates, though the Septuagint, Vulgate, and Luther have our Authorized Version order. The inconvenience to certain of not being able to find their registers is alluded to in Ezra 2:59.
