📚 Historical Context
This verse appears at the end of the account of King Joram of Judah's reign (around 848-841 BC). Ancient kingdoms kept detailed chronicles of their kings' activities, and the biblical writers often referenced these official court records. These chronicles would have contained much more detail about political, military, and administrative events than what appears in the biblical narrative.
