From Elijah. This is the only reference to Elijah in Chronicles. A brief record of the prophet’s work is found in 1 Kings 17-19, 21; 2 Kings 1, 2. Elijah was a prophet of the northern kingdom, and since the narrative in Chronicles is concerned primarily with the history of Judah, he receives only incidental mention. The account of Elijah’s translation is recorded in 2 Kings 2, but the account of Jehoram’s reign does not occur till 2 Kings 8. Biblical events are not always related in strict chronological sequence.
Thou hast not walked. This phrase makes it clear that Elijah’s words were a personal message addressed directly to Jehoram, and that Elijah had not yet ascended (see PK 213).
