    In 2 Chronicles 13:22, the construct-form noun names the source in which Abijah’s acts, ways, and words are written; the APB renders the clause "written in the story of the prophet Iddo." In 2 Chronicles 24:27, it likewise names the source in which material concerning his sons, oracles against him, and the founding of the house of God is written; the APB renders "written in the story of the book of the kings."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the noun as "story" in both verses, followed by different construct relationships: "of the prophet Iddo" and "of the book of the kings." These phrases confirm the verse-level presentation rather than isolate a precise English equivalent.
