Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
As for everything else Jehoahaz did during his reign, including all his accomplishments and his strength as a king, isn't all of that recorded in the official history book of Israel's kings?
The writer is pointing readers to other historical records where they can find more detailed information about King Jehoahaz's reign and achievements.
