Exegesis
The second clause’s u-mil-ḥa-môṯ Reḥaḇ‘am və-ya-rō-ḇa‘am kōl ha-yā-mîm {וּמִלְחֲמוֹת רְחַבְעָם וְיָרָבְעָם כָּל־הַיָּמִים | u-mil-ḥa-mōt Reḥaḇ‘ām və-yā-rā-ḇa‘ām kōl ha-yā-mîm} uses vav and kol in a distributive idiom ‘throughout their days’ to link ongoing warfare. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew ellipsis and rhetorical question to highlight the reliability of the written account and the persistence of conflict.
In context — 2 Chronicles 12:15
And the words of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam continued throughout their days.
