Exegesis
The construct divrei Achaz {דִּבְרֵ֥י אָחָ֖ז | dî-vrē ʼā-ḥāz} “words of Ahaz” frames the topic, with the subordinate clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁ֣ר | ʼă-šer} “which” governing the perfect verb asah {עָשָׂ֑ה | ʿā-śāh} “he did.”
In context — 2 Kings 16:19
Now the remaining acts of Ahaz, what he did—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ?
