Study note
Setting — The narrator concludes the account of King Abijam’s reign and records the ongoing military conflict between Judah and Israel.
The words — The Hebrew יֶתֶר (yeter) and דִּבְרֵי (divrei) literally mean “the rest of” and “the matters of” Abijam’s deeds, while הֲלֹא (halo) functions as a rhetorical negative confirming these records are preserved in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
The thread — This archival reference mirrors the formula used for Rehoboam in 1 Kings 14:29 and corresponds to the reign chronology detailed in 2 Chronicles 13:2.
Why it lands — The text explicitly states that Abijam and Jeroboam maintained a state of war throughout his life, while directing readers to an external royal record for the full account of his actions.
