Exegesis
Jehoshaphat’s role is given by the predicate participle mazkir {מַזְכִּיר | mazqîr} ‘recorder’, which functions as an office title and implies an ongoing administrative duty. Hebrew omits an explicit copula in both clauses; English supplies “was” (and in formal, “was appointed”) to convey the verbless identification structure while preserving the parallelism between the two appointments.
