1 Kings 22:45 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:45

And all the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and all his might
that he showed, and all his wars, are they not written in the book
of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
] Many of them are recorded in the canonical book of Scripture, which bears the name of Chronicles; and more might be in this referred to, out of which might be taken what God has thought fit to transmit to future times; see ( 2 Chronicles 17:1-20:37 ) .

1 Kings 22:45 In-Context

43 And he went in all the way of Asa, his father, and [he] bowed not [aside] from it; and he did that, that was rightful in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless he did not away [the] high things, for yet the people made sacrifice, and burnt incense, in high places. (And he went in all the ways of his father Asa, and he turned not aside from them; and he did what was right before the Lord. But he did not do away the hill shrines, for yet the people offered sacrifices, and burned incense, at the hill shrines.)
44 And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
45 Soothly the residue of [the] words of Jehoshaphat, and the works and (the) battles, which he did, whether these be not written in the book of [the] words of [the] days of the kings of Judah?
46 But also he took away from the land the relics of [the] men turned into women's conditions, that (were) left in the days of Asa, his father. (And he also did away from the land the male and female whores, who served at the hill shrines, who were still there from the days of his father Asa.)
47 Neither a king was ordained then in Edom (And there was not a king then in Edom, that is, Idumea); (but a deputy, appointed by the king of Judah, ruled over it).
