📚 Historical Context
This verse appears at the end of the account of Rehoboam's reign, who was Solomon's son and ruled the southern kingdom of Judah after the kingdom split around 930 BC. Ancient kings kept detailed court records of their reigns, and the biblical writers often referenced these official chronicles for additional information. These royal chronicles were separate from the biblical books we know today and have been lost to history.
