The wars of Jeroboam may be divided into: (1) his wars with Rehoboam (see 1Ki 14:25, 1Ki 14:30); and (2) his war with Abijam (see the marginal reference). The book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel - (of Judah, 1Ki 14:29). See the Introduction.
This site's exposition
the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel
on 1 Kings 14:19-20
The narrator points to “the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel”, a lost source distinct from the biblical books of Chronicles. Jeroboam reigns “twenty-two years” and dies unreformed, the man promised “a lasting dynasty” at 11:38 who forfeited it. Nadab his son takes a throne already sentenced.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
The chronicles - not that canonical book of chronicles; for that was written long after this book: but a book of civil records, the annals, wherein all remarkable passages were recorded by the king's command from day to day; out of which the sacred penman by the direction of God's spirit, took those passages which were most useful for God's honour, and mens edification.
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred,....
The Nineteenth Century1 voice
The rest of the acts of Jeroboam - are written in the - chronicles - For some important particulars relative to this reign, see 2 Chronicles 13:1-20.

Counterpoint: The famous phrase bytdwd is written without a word divider, and Philip Davies, Niels Peter Lemche, and Thomas Thompson argued it should be read as a place name rather than 'House of David'; Frederick Cryer also questioned how the broken fragments were joined. Most epigraphers — including the excavators Avraham Biran and Joseph Naveh, and later Anson Rainey — hold that the dynastic reading is correct, and it is now the majority view.
