1)  in the Bible or 2) 竒 one of the five Chinese classics


Explanation:

As there is no context to go by, I venture these two answers.

1) in the Christian Bible, Kings 1 and Kings 2 are translated into   and . They are pronounced 

2) Of the Five Classics, the five confucian canons, one is 竒 which is translated into either the Book of History or the Book of Documents.

Explanation:
may I dare to ask: since asker indicate it's a historical issue:
then my first question is: is this question related to Western or Oriental's history?

My best quess is: since I have not learned westerner's family name is Wongs, why people's approach is emphasize on Bible's story?

I assummed: this is a study toward certain dynasty, the record of King vs. the official who has to record the events of each king
Wong 王 (in traditional Chinese pronouciation)

Book of documentation:
Shi Ji 史記
