And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel,.... Meaning, not after the invasion of the Moabites, &c. and the slaughter of them, but after Jehoshaphat returned from Ramothgilead, when he was reproved by a prophet for helping the ungodly, Ch2 19:1 so that it was a great aggravation of his folly and weakness, that after that, and quickly after that, he should join himself to a wicked prince, though not in war, but in trade; for so it must be, since Ahaziah reigned but two years, and those not complete, see Kg1 22:51, but is here related, that Jehoshaphat's weaknesses and blemishes might be laid together:
who did very wickedly; that is, Ahaziah, who walked in the ways of Ahab his father, and of Jezebel his mother, and of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Kg1 22:52.

Vulgate, the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which he arranged (digessit) in the books of the kings of Israel. But most modern critics take the words to mean that Jehu’s work was incorporated in the book of the kings of Israel.

The rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, etc. These "acts of Jehoshaphat" are said in this verse to find their record in the book of Jehu mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel. The parallel has, "in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah." For our "mentioned," note margin, literal, made to ascend and Revised Version "inserted." The "book of the kings of Israel" may (note also the remarkable apparent misnomers of our writer, as illustrated by (2Ch_12:6 2Ch_21:2, 2Ch_21:4) very possibly be one with the parallel, "book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah" (see our "Introduction," 1 Chronicles, pp. 7., 8.). Of this larger collected cyclopaedia of royal biography, Jehu"s account (yrebDi) of Jehoshaphat was one component part. Though Jehu"s (yrebdi) book is not mentioned elsewhere, he himself is particularly in 1Ki_16:1, as well as in our 2Ch_19:2.
