Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?] Not in the canonical book of Chronicles, though some of his acts are recorded there, see 2 Chronicles 21:1 but in the annals of the kings of Judah, written by persons appointed for that purpose.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 8:23. Are they not written in the book of the chronicles — Several remarkable particulars relative to Joram may be found in 2 Chronicles 21:0.
