Book ◦ Chapter

As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz and all his ways
Ahaz was the king of Judah, and his reign is detailed in2 Chronicles 28 and2 Kings 16. He is known for his idolatry and unfaithfulness to God, which led to significant consequences for Judah. His actions included sacrificing to foreign gods and even offering his own son in the fire, practices condemned inDeuteronomy 18:10. Ahaz's reign was marked by political instability and spiritual decline, contrasting with the faithfulness of his son Hezekiah, who sought to restore true worship in Judah.

from beginning to end
This phrase indicates a comprehensive account of Ahaz's reign, suggesting that his entire life and rule were characterized by his departure from God's commandments. The chronicler emphasizes the totality of his actions, which were consistently against the covenantal expectations set for the kings of Judah. This phrase also implies that Ahaz's reign was thoroughly documented, providing a complete picture of his leadership and its impact on the nation.

they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel
The Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel refers to a historical record that chronicled the reigns of the kings of both the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.

It also highlights the importance of written records in preserving the history and lessons of the past for future generations. The chronicler's reference to this book suggests that the deeds of Ahaz were well-known and documented, serving as a warning to subsequent generations about the dangers of turning away from God.

What Does 2 Chronicles 28:26 Mean

As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz

• Scripture here signals that the account we have just read is not exhaustive; it hints at a broader record. Compare1 Kings 14:29—“As for the rest of the acts of Rehoboam… are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?” God often points us to additional records, underscoring that His dealings with each king were detailed and complete, even if not every detail is preserved in 2 Chronicles.

• This statement also reminds us that God notices every deed (Ecclesiastes 12:14). Nothing in Ahaz’s life—good or evil—escaped divine observation.

and all his ways

• “Ways” speaks to lifestyle, choices, and patterns. Ahaz’s ways were marked by idolatry and political compromise (2 Chronicles 28:2–4, 16–21). LikePsalm 1:6 teaches, “the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish,” Ahaz’s way led Judah into trouble.

• Our ways, too, are under God’s scrutiny (Proverbs 5:21). This verse gently presses us to examine whether our paths align with God’s.

from beginning to end

• God tracked Ahaz’s entire reign—no selective highlight reel. From the first choice to the last breath, the king’s story was fully known. SeeIsaiah 46:10, where God “declares the end from the beginning,” affirming His sovereign oversight.

• The phrase also foreshadows the finality of judgment.Revelation 22:13 presents Jesus as “the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End,” assuring that He will render a just verdict on every life story, including ours.

they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel

• The chronicler points readers to another authoritative source, likely the same court annals referenced in1 Kings 15:31. This certified record keeps Ahaz’s legacy intact in history, emphasizing accountability.

• Such documentation echoes God’s own “books” opened at final judgment (Daniel 7:10;Revelation 20:12). Earthly archives illustrate a heavenly reality: every deed is recorded before God.

summary

2 Chronicles 28:26 underlines that Ahaz’s life—every act, every habit, every moment—was fully observed and preserved, both in royal annals and, ultimately, in God’s perfect record. The verse urges us to live transparently before the Lord, mindful that our own stories are likewise written from beginning to end.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

CLOSING NOTICES (2Chronicles 28:26-27. Comp.2Kings 16:19-20).

(26)Now the rest of his acts, and of all his ways.--The chronicler has varied the usual formula. (See chapter 25:26, 26:7, &c., and comp.2Kings 16:19.)

But (for)they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel.--Wanting in Kings. (See Note on chaps, 21:20, 26:23.) Thenius supposes that this statement is founded either uponmistake,or uponzeal for the Law.But why not upon awritten authority?
