His reign was marked by idolatry and moral decline, continuing the sinful practices of his father. The phrase suggests that there were additional deeds and events during Elah's 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 selective nature of biblical history, focusing on theological rather than exhaustive historical accounts.<p><b>along with all his accomplishments</b><br>The term "accomplishments" may refer to any significant events or achievements during Elah's reign, though the biblical text does not specify them. This could include military campaigns, building projects, or political alliances. However, Elah's reign was short-lived, lasting only two years, and was characterized by instability and eventual assassination by Zimri, one of his officials. This brevity and turmoil suggest that his accomplishments were limited or overshadowed by his failures.<p><b>are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?</b><br>This phrase points to an external source, the "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel," which is not part of the biblical canon but was likely a historical record of the reigns of the kings of Israel. This book is frequently referenced in the accounts of the kings, indicating that it was a well-known source of historical information at the time. The mention of this book underscores the historical reality of these events and suggests that the biblical authors had access to other records when compiling their narratives. It also highlights the practice of ancient Near Eastern cultures to maintain detailed royal annals.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elah.htm">Elah</a></b><br>The son of Baasha, Elah was the king of Israel who reigned for two years.
