Kings II 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:12

And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did
Though none of his acts as yet are recorded, but his sinful ones:

and his might;
or valiant actions in war with the Syrians, ( 2 Kings 13:25 ) ,

and wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah;
of which there is an account in the following chapter:

are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel?
in the history of the transactions of their reigns.

Kings II 13:12 In-Context

10 And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of thy hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.

11 And she brought to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.

12 And she said to him, Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do not this folly.

13 And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray thee, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from thee.

14 But Amnon would not hearken to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.
