2 Kings 16:19

Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

2 Kings 16:19 In-Context

17 Forsooth king Ahaz took (away) the painted foundaments of (the) pillars, and the washing vessel, that was set above (them), and he put down the sea, that is, the washing vessel for priests, from [off] the brazen oxen (from off the bronze oxen), that sustained it, and he setted (it) on the pavement arrayed with stone.
18 Also he turned (around) the chamber of [the] sabbath, which he had builded in the temple, and he turned (around) the entering of the king (from) withoutforth into the temple of the Lord, for (to please) the king of Assyrians. (And he turned around the chamber used on the sabbath, which he had built in the Temple, and he turned around the entrance for the king from withoutforth into the Temple of the Lord, all to please the king of Assyria.)
19 Forsooth the residue of [the] words of Ahaz, and all things which he did, whether these be not written in the book of [the] words of [the] days of the kings of Judah?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David; and Hezekiah, his son, reigned for him.
