His reign is noted for its continuation of the idolatrous practices that characterized the Northern Kingdom. The phrase suggests that there were additional deeds and events during his reign that are not detailed in the biblical narrative, indicating a broader historical context that the biblical authors chose not to include. This reflects the common biblical practice of summarizing the reigns of kings, focusing on their spiritual and covenantal significance rather than exhaustive historical detail.<p><b>along with all his accomplishments</b><br>The term "accomplishments" may refer to political, military, or administrative actions taken by Pekahiah during his reign. However, the biblical text does not elaborate on these, possibly indicating that his reign was not marked by significant achievements or that his actions were overshadowed by his idolatry and the subsequent judgment upon Israel. This omission highlights the biblical emphasis on faithfulness to God over secular success.<p><b>they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel</b><br>This phrase refers to a historical record that is distinct from the biblical books of Chronicles. The "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel" is a non-extant source that likely contained detailed accounts of the reigns of the kings of the Northern Kingdom. Its mention underscores the existence of other historical documents that were used as sources by the biblical authors. This practice of referencing external records is seen throughout the books of Kings, providing a historical framework for the biblical narrative. The emphasis on written records also reflects the importance of documentation and record-keeping in the ancient Near East.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/pekahiah.htm">Pekahiah</a></b><br>He was the son of Menahem and became king of Israel.
