Exegesis
The phrase al sefer divrei hayamim {עַל־סֵ֛פֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים | al se-fer dib-ray ha-yā-mīm} specifies the document genre, and le-malkhei Yisrael {לְמַלְכֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | le-mal-khē yis-rā-ʼēl} limits its scope to Israel’s kings. The structure preserves the Hebrew annalistic formula and its rhetorical emphasis.
In context — 2 Kings 14:15
Now the remaining account of Jehoash—what he did, his mighty deeds , and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah—is it not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
