Quick answer
The rest of Jeroboam's deeds are recorded in the chronicles of the kings of Israel. This closing formula points beyond the biblical account to other records.
Overview
Kings repeatedly refers readers to royal annals for fuller detail, while selecting events that serve its theological purpose. The note that Jeroboam 'fought and reigned' acknowledges his political activity. The formula reminds us that Scripture's history is purposefully shaped to teach about God and His covenant.
