And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Everything else that Hezekiah did—all his powerful accomplishments, including how he built a pool and tunnel system to bring water into the city—isn't all this recorded in the official history book of Judah's kings?
The writer is pointing readers to official records where they can read about King Hezekiah's other achievements, especially his famous water engineering project.
📚 Historical Context
This refers to Hezekiah's famous tunnel project around 701 BC, when he had workers dig through solid rock to create an underground water channel from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam inside Jerusalem's walls. This engineering marvel ensured the city would have water during Assyrian sieges, and the tunnel still exists today as one of Jerusalem's most remarkable archaeological sites.
