(26) First and last.—The former and the latter. The chronicler adds his usual formula.
Behold, are they not written.—The Hebrew is faulty here. “Behold, they are written” is the customary phrase in the Chronicles (2Ch_20:34; 2Ch_24:27); “are they not written” being that of Kings. In the Hebrew text here the two phrases are blended. Some- MSS., and the Syriac, Vulg., and Arabic read, “Behold, they are written.” But it is possible that hinnâm (“behold they”) is here a corruption of hçm (“they”); and that the reading of Kings should be followed, with other Hebrew MSS. and the Targum.

The book of the kings of Judah and Israel. The parallel has "the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah." Considering the amount and the character of the resemblance that we have noticed between the narratives in Kings and in our own text, and assuming that the work to which each compiler calls attention for the fuller elucidation of his subject of biography is the work which he has himself most largely laid under "contribution, then we should justly feel in this instance that we had no feeble argument for the identity of the two works, called by rather different titles by the writer of the pre-Captivity, "the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah," and by him of the post-Captivity, "the book of the kings of Judah and Israel."
