1 Kings 22:39 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:39

Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the
ivory house which he made
Which, being a very curious and extraordinary thing, is particularly mentioned; though perhaps it might not be made wholly of ivory, but inlaid with it; we read of ivory houses in ( Amos 3:15 ) ,

and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
in which the acts of his predecessors were recorded, see ( 1 Kings 14:19 ) ( 15:31 ) ( 1 Kings 16:14 1 Kings 16:20 1 Kings 16:27 ) not the Scripture book of Chronicles, for there none of these things are related.
