Exegesis
The construct chain divrei Baasha {דִּבְרֵי בַעְשָׁא | dibré ba-ʿa-šá} ‘events of Baasha’ is expanded by vaʾasher ʿasah {וַאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה | va-ʾa-šér ʿā-sā} ‘what he did’, with uvegvurato {וּגְבוּרָת֑וֹ | u-gevurātō} ‘and his might’ functioning as a further descriptive addition.
Finally, ketuvim al-sefer divrei hayamim le-malkhei yisrael {כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל} employs nested construct chains ‘written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel’ to denote an authoritative royal archive.
