The construct al-sefer divrei hayamim {עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים | ’al-sē-fer də-vrē hā-yā-mīm} ‘in the book of the words of the days’ specifies the chronicle genre, and the phrase le-malkei Yisrael {לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | lə-mal-kē yiś-rā-’ēl} ‘concerning the kings of Israel’ defines the scope. This structure succinctly summarizes Jeroboam’s reign in a historical note.
