Study note
Setting — The chronicler concludes the narrative account of King Abijah’s reign and family expansion before directing readers to an external source for further details.
The words — מִדְרָשׁ (midrash) literally means record or chronicle, and יֶתֶר (yeter) translates to remainder or rest, together framing the verse as a bibliographic citation.
The thread — The text points to prophetic records as a source for royal history, a pattern repeated in 2 Chronicles 9:29, 12:15, and 24:27.
Why it lands — The verse requires readers to acknowledge that biblical narratives reference external archives rather than claiming comprehensive knowledge of every royal action.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
