To what are the scriptures referring when they speak of the books of the "chronicles of the kings"?

Accepted answer

The following books are referenced in the King James Version of the bible but are not found in that text.(source)

(Though you can of course look up each scripture to verify for yourself as a link has been provided for each.)

The Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah is believed to be a record kept by the kings of Israel but it is not considered to be the books we know as 1 and 2 Chronicles.


Interestingly enough, this is pretty conclusive that our bible today isn't quite what it used to be, and that there are prophets (like Nathan and Shemaiah) that recorded the word of God, but that word has since been lost to us.
