(26) First and last.The former and the latter. The chronicler adds his usual formula.
Behold, are they not written.The Hebrew is faulty here. Behold, they are written is the customary phrase in the Chronicles (2Ch. 20:34; 2Ch. 24:27); are they not written being that of Kings. In the Hebrew text here the two phrases are blended. Some- MSS., and the Syriac, Vulg., and Arabic read, Behold, they are written. But it is possible that hinnm (behold they) is here a corruption of hm (they); and that the reading of Kings should be followed, with other Hebrew MSS. and the Targum.
