For example, when it mentions Sefer Divrei HaYamim LeMalchei Yehudah in Melachim 1 14:29, Artscroll refers you to Divrei HaYamim. When it mentions other ones, it says "no longer extant" (see, for example, 11:41). But your argument must be correct, since Ezra did write it. I don't know what Artscroll's reasoning is. | |

It is simply the historical records which were kept by the Judean kingdom which were used as source and reference material for much of Neviim Rishonim (see my answer here). The "Divrei Hayamim" that we know is traditionally thought to have been written by Ezra (much later than Yirmiyahu, who wrote/compiled Melachim), who in turn used Shmuel/Melachim as sources. | |

I think that there is also another one about Shlomoh, but I can't remember its name. | |
