Overview
This closing formula points to fuller royal records now lost, while the inspired narrative selects what serves God's redemptive purpose. The historian's restraint focuses attention on the spiritual lessons rather than mere political achievements. It reminds readers that what matters eternally is one's standing before God, not the extent of one's earthly accomplishments.
