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.”
The phrase al-sefer divrei hayamim {עַל־סֵ֛פֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים | ʿal-se-fer dî-vrē ha-yā-mîm} specifies the archival source, and lemalchei Yehudah {לְמַלְכֵ֥י יְהוּדָֽה | le-mal-khê yĕ-hū-dāh} “for the kings of Judah” identifies the dynastic scope, completing the historiographical formula.
