Berean Study Bible

As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash
The phrase "the rest of the acts" suggests a summary or conclusion of Jehoash's reign, indicating that what follows is a brief account of his deeds. The Hebrew word for "acts" is "ma'aseh," which often refers to deeds or works. This implies that Jehoash's reign was marked by significant actions, both good and bad, that were noteworthy enough to be recorded. In a broader biblical context, this phrase reminds us that God is aware of all human actions, and they are recorded in His divine ledger.

along with all his accomplishments
The term "accomplishments" in Hebrew is "gevurah," which can also mean "strength" or "mighty deeds." This highlights Jehoash's achievements and the impact of his leadership. Historically, kings were often judged by their military and political successes, and this phrase underscores the importance of such accomplishments in the ancient Near Eastern context. It serves as a reminder that while human achievements are noteworthy, they should ultimately glorify God.

and his might with which he fought
"Might" is translated from the Hebrew word "koach," meaning strength or power. This emphasizes Jehoash's military prowess and the strength he exhibited in battle. The phrase "with which he fought" indicates active engagement in warfare, a common aspect of kingship in ancient Israel. This reflects the turbulent times in which Jehoash lived, where kings were often defined by their ability to defend and expand their territories.

against Amaziah king of Judah
This phrase identifies Amaziah as the adversary, situating the narrative within the larger context of the divided kingdom of Israel and Judah. The historical enmity and occasional alliances between these two kingdoms are well-documented in the Bible. This conflict with Amaziah highlights the political and military tensions of the period, reminding us of the consequences of division among God's people.

are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
This rhetorical question points to an external source, the "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel," which served as a historical record of the reigns of the kings. The use of this phrase suggests that the biblical account is a summary, and more detailed records existed at the time. It underscores the importance of historical documentation and the reliability of Scripture, as it often references other sources to corroborate its narratives. This phrase also invites readers to consider the broader historical context of the biblical events, encouraging a deeper exploration of God's unfolding plan through history.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(12) And the rest.--This is repeated, 2Kings 14:15-16.

Wherewith he fought.--Or, how he fought. In 2Kings 14:15 and is prefixed, and should be restored here.

Against Amaziah.--See the account of 2Kings 14:8, seq.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 12. - And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah King of Judah (see 2 Kings 14:11-14), are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? Either this and the next verses have been displaced from their rightful position by some accident, or the author at one time intended to terminate his account of Joash at this point. The formula used is one, which regularly closes the reign of each king. The proper place for it would have been after ver. 25.
