Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ʿal-sefer {עַל־סֵפֶר | ʿal-sēper} ‘upon the book of’ is an idiom for being entered in or preserved within a written register, and it is completed by ha-melakhim li-Yehudah ve-Yisra’el {הַמְּלָכִים לִיהוּדָה וְיִשְׂרָאֵל | ham-məlākhîm lî-yəhûdāh wə-yisrāʾēl}, identifying the archival source as a royal compilation associated with both Judah and Israel. The overall syntax functions as a concluding citation, directing the audience to an external annalistic record for fuller detail.
