Exegesis
This is followed by divrei {דִּבְרֵ֥י | dib-rê} “words” in construct relation with menachem {מְנַחֵ֖ם | mə-nā-ḥêm}, forming a possessive.
The prepositional phrase al sefer {עַל־סֵ֛פֶר | ʿal sê-pher} “upon the book” links to the source text, while divrei hayamim {דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים | dib-rê hā-yā-mîm} “words of the days” serves as a technical term for annals, and lemalchei Yisrael {לְמַלְכֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | lə-mal-ḵê yiś-rā-ʼēl} “to the kings of Israel” identifies scope. This structure exemplifies the Deuteronomistic historiographical formula for citing archival sources, and the translation places the passive verb early for natural English syntax.
