A Biblical Historian's Note

Commentators observe that this verse is a standard formula used by the author of Kings to conclude a king's reign. It shows the biblical writer was acting as a historian, referencing official state records—in this case, "the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel," which is a separate source from the biblical book of Chronicles.
