Well, Ahab is mentioned in Chronicles only when he interacts with the kingdom of Judah.
I would read a great deal into that! Which stories are included are based on the overall impression that the author wants to give. Similar with secular histories. What details are included in a book, or excluded, make a big difference imo.
The Jews of Jesus' day were a bigoted bunch but the nations of Israel anndJuda werew all the descendants of Abraham. Basically they were all cousins.Well, Ahab is mentioned in Chronicles only when he interacts with the kingdom of Judah.

Luther's version of the canon? I don't know to what you're referring.I agree! Now, what is it we are trusting God to do? Tell us directly which documents are scripture? Or guide Christians in maybe the first 400 years to properly compile the scriptures into what we call the Bible?
I was thinking more about Martin Luther's version of the canon. If we're going to trust someone else to compile the Bible for us, who?

The big picture is that if, shortly after the death of the apostles, the bulk of Christianity turned away from God, Jesus didn't know them, they didn't have God's law written on their hearts, and they misinterpreted passages about what laws they were to keep,
why in the world would they be trusted to properly compile the Bible? To say that they did seems like an awfully ad hoc approach, something just for the moment.
Bible Gateway passage: 2 Timothy 2:2 - New American Standard Bible
The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.
Right, it's not that the writer of Chronicles had a grudge. I think they probably just wanted to focus on the line of David.
From what I remember, Luther came up with a Canon of the Old Testament. It's basically the version of the Old Testament used by most Protestants.

I'm sure that Him can answer for himself I would just say this. If you do a word search in the OT for the word remnant you will find a bunch of results speaking prophetically and for the numbers left when God sent other nations to punish both kingdoms as Moses prophecied He would.

When and why? I would say it was because the non Adventist people were being rude. I've even complained about that, but not to moderators.I've seen people get bent out of shape there

More application of old testament old covenant Israel to new testament new covenant Christondom.
Such as? Can you quote a couple of them that are prophecies of the entire Body of Christ only consisting of a small splinter group?
I can't provide you with anything like that because this only about prophecies Moses made in Deuteronomy about what God would do to the Israelites if they kept on disobeying Him
