Exegesis
The construct chain divrei Yehoachaz {דִּבְרֵ֧י יְהוֹאָחָ֛ז | dǐv-rê Yə-hō-ʼā-ḥāz} ‘words of Jehoahaz’ identifies the acts attributed to the king, and the relative clause vekhol asher asah {וְכָל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֖ה | wə-kʰōl ʼă-šer ʿā-sāh} ‘all that he did’ extends to his entire record.
The participle ketuvim {כְּתוּבִים | kə-tū-vīm} ‘are written’ paired with al-sefer divrei hayamim {עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים | ʿal-sē-per dǐv-rê ha-yā-mîm} ‘in the book of chronicles’ specifies the archival source, and lemalchei Yisrael {לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | lə-mal-kĕ-̄ḥē Yiś-rā-ʾēl} ‘for the kings of Israel’ links the records to the Israelite monarchy. The triadic list of acts, deeds, and might, concluded by a rhetorical question, underscores the authoritative completeness of the royal annals.
