Exegesis
Two relative clauses with asher {אֲשֶׁ֤ר | a-she-r} and va-asher {وַאֲשֶׁ֣ר | va-a-she-r} enumerate the civil deeds (asah {עָשָׂה֙ | ‛ā-śāh}) and military action (nilkham {נִלְחַ֔ם | nil-ḥam} with Amaziah).
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?
