Study note
Setting — The narrator concludes the account of Nadab’s reign over Israel, noting that his full record exists outside this text.
The words — The phrase וְ/יֶ֛תֶר (ve./Ye.ter) literally means "and the rest of," while הֲ/לֹא\־ (ha./lo'-) functions as a rhetorical "is it not?" to point to an existing archive.
The thread — This formula appears in 1 Kings 14:19, 1 Kings 16:5, and 1 Kings 16:14, consistently redirecting readers from the biblical narrative to a now-lost royal chronicle.
Why it lands — The verse directs attention away from the biblical text itself and toward an external historical record, acknowledging that the canonical account preserves only a curated selection of royal deeds.
