Quick answer
Those records include all of David's reign and might, along with the events that befell him, Israel, and the surrounding kingdoms.
Overview
The book closes by noting that David's reign is set within the wider sweep of events affecting Israel and neighboring nations, all under God's providence. 'The times that went over him' acknowledges both the triumphs and trials that shaped his rule. Ending here, the chronicler leaves readers looking ahead to the temple and the enduring Davidic hope ultimately fulfilled in Christ, the King whose kingdom embraces all nations.
