Commentary
5 notes on this verseNow the rest of the acts of Rehoboam and all that he did,.... In the course of his reign, that was memorable: are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? who had annalists or historiographers to write for them, as the kings of Israel had, 1Ki 14:19, in the writing of which, especially with respect to genealogies, Shemaiah the prophet, and Iddo the seer, were concerned, 2Ch 12:15.
This site's exposition
the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah
on 1 Kings 14:29-31
The southern kingdom gets its own named source here, the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah, matching the northern formula the narrator used two verses earlier for Israel. Verse 30 records continuous war between the two houses without describing a single battle, a hostility the book will keep marking by this same short notice through several reigns to come. Rehoboam dies and is buried with his fathers in the city of David, his mother named again as at verse 21, and Abijam his son succeeds him to a reign the next chapter measures and finds wanting.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
It was strange that David would marry his son Solomon to an Ammonitess (for it was done while he lived), but it is probable that Solomon was in love with her, because she was Naamah, a beauty (so it signifies), and his father was loth to cross him, but it proved to have a very bad influence upon posterity.
In both we may read the mischievous consequences of sin and the calamities it brings on kingdoms and families. Abijah's Sickness; the Prophet Ahijah Consulted.

Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam . . ., are they not written in the book of the chronicles?--not the book so called and comprehended in the sacred canon, but the national archives of Judah.
