1 Kings 22:45Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
The setting
Jerusalem, ~848 BC. The royal chronicler concludes King Jehoshaphat's 25-year reign summary in the official court records, near the Temple Mount in modern Israel.
The emotion here: dutiful completion while knowing most stories will be lost
The original word

Why it matters
