Study note
Setting — The narrator concludes the account of King Jehoiakim’s reign, directly following the charge that he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood.
The words — The phrase וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי (ve./Ye.ter div.Rei) literally renders “and the rest of the matters,” while אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה ('a.Sher 'a.Sah) means “that he did.”
The thread — This historiographical note points to the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah and parallels the recording formula in 2 Chronicles 36:8.
Why it lands — The text states that Jehoiakim’s full record exists in official archives before the narrative immediately notes his death and his son’s succession.
