This is not surprising since that chapter in Jackson deals with
electrostatics. Look at section 1.5 on page 17. The section states:

The Maxwell equations are differential equations applying locally
at each point in space-time (x,t). By means of the divergence
theorem and Stoke's theorem they can be cast in integral form. [...
a few sentences later...] Then the divergence theorem applied to
the first and last [Maxwell] equations yields the integral
statements... The first is just Gauss's law...
