Exegesis

The construct phrase divrei Yehoash {דִּבְרֵ֨י יְהוֹאָ֜שׁ | dib-ray ye-hō-ʾāsh} ‘words of Jehoash’ identifies the royal record.

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.
