2 Kings 14:15Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
The setting
Royal archives, Israel, ~790 BC. Scribes close the record of Jehoash's reign with the standard formula...
The emotion here: solemnly closing a chapter of history
The original word
gvurah (גבורה) — might, strength, heroic deeds worthy of remembrance
Why it matters
