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 the reader to the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel, a source now lost, distinct from the biblical books of Chronicles and cited across the rest of both Kings as the record standing behind the summary the text gives here. Jeroboam reigns twenty and two years and dies unreformed, the man who received the sure house language at 11:38 and forfeited it within his own reign. Nadab succeeds him, the first son in this book to inherit a throne the text has already sentenced before he sits on it.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
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.

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.
