Quick answer

The rest of Zechariah's deeds are recorded in the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

This closing formula notes that fuller records existed for even this brief reign. The inspired narrative, however, focuses on the prophetic significance of Zechariah's fall rather than political detail. It marks the formal end of his short, evil reign and Jehu's dynasty.

Christ at the center

Amid the long decline toward exile, the promise to David's house refuses to die; the flickering lamp kept burning anticipates the coming King who will not fail or be cut off.
