Exegesis

The construct chain divrei {דִּבְרֵי | də-vrē} ‘recorded matters’ links to the proper name Yarov'am {יָרָבְעָם | yā-rā-v-’ām}, and the relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר | ’ă-šer} introduces two summary clauses nilcham {נִלְחַם | nil-ḥām} ‘he fought’ and malakh {מָלַךְ | mā-lakh} ‘he reigned’.
