Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records this transitional phrase immediately after narrating Josiah’s death and the national mourning, directing attention to external archives for his complete reign.
The words — וְיֶתֶר (ve-yeter) literally means "and the rest of," while חֲסָדָיו (chasav) translates to "his covenant loyalties" or "his acts of steadfast love."
The thread — This structural marker links to the Chronicler’s citation of the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah in 2 Chronicles 35:27 and his earlier reference to Hezekiah’s documented reign in 2 Chronicles 32:32.
Why it lands — The text requires readers to ground their understanding of a king’s reign in the written Law of the LORD rather than in partial or oral accounts.
