Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 14:19

19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel .

Heb. in the book of the words or things of the days, &c. By which you are not to understand that Canonical Book of the Chronicles, for that was written long after this Book; but a Book of Civil Records, the Annals, wherein all remarkable passages were Recorded by the Kings command from day to day; out of which the Sacred Penman by the direction of Gods Spirit, took out those passages which were most considerable and useful for Gods Honour, and Mens Edification.
