I can't answer this question, except to say there were Kings
over the Kingdom of Judah--which likely included more than one "land."
Zedekiah of the Davidic dynasty was the King when Lehi took his family
and left Jerusalem. Where there are Kings over large areas of land,
there are usually also lesser rulers, or if you prefer, governors.
Unfortunately, the Bible does not mention any except the ones with high
visibility. Nebuchadnezzer was mentioned. A few others were also, but
most seemed to be minor players on that scene.The Bible is not a complete
record, just talks about that which is most obvious. Again, remember
this was all taking place 600 years BC. The records of that time are
scant compared to the records left by gospel writers of Jesus's time,
and don't forget Flavius Josephus, the Roman writer whose writings tell
us as much if not more than the gospel writers. The closer we get to our
time, obviously the more detailed records will be.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF DATA
The bible does not present an incomplete history, but a continuous history dating many thousands of years into the past. Seems pretty complete to me.
You can read about the division of the land for the 12 Tribes, one of them being the Tribe of JUDAH(Josh 14-15), in Joshua Chap's 13-19 in 1398BC
1 Kings 12 records the division into Northern (Israel) & Southern (Judah) kingdoms
Israel falls to the Assyrians in 722BC (2 Kings 17)
Judah falls to Babylon in 2 Chron 36 carried away between 605 to 586BC
We have plenty of DETAIL available.
THE SCANT RECORDS YOU MENTION INCLUDE
2 Chron & 2 Kings cover your Lehi Time period 600BC
In addition we also have the prophetic books Hosea & Amos (written to Israel) Habakuk, Isaiah, Jeremiah,Joel, Micah,Zephaniah (Written to JUDAH) Jonah & Nahum (written to Assyria) Ezekial & Daniel for the Babylonian Exile or Captivity of Judah.
Instead of a lack of data, we get a complete list of ALL the Northern Kings & ALL the Southern Kings.
This would cover your TIME of Lehi
And remember the Bible dates Judea to 1398BC way before the time in question, 600BC
DO YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THESE?
Nehemiah ceased to be govenor of Judea in 408BC (BIBLE)
Antipater ruled Judea,until 37BC, father of Herod
Procurator Coponius 6BC
Pontius Pilate served as govenor of Judea from 26-36 C.E (BIBLE)
Fadus was "procurator of Judea," A. D. 44-46
Antonius Felix Procurator Judaea AD52-59 (BIBLE)
AD62-65 Albinus is made Procurator
AD 65- Florus
Porcius Festus was governor of Judea under Nero. (BIBLE)
Tinius Rufus, ruler of Judea 130AD
Antipater ruled Judea,until 37BC, father of Herod
Procurator Coponius 6BC
Pontius Pilate served as govenor of Judea from 26-36 C.E (BIBLE)
Fadus was "procurator of Judea," A. D. 44-46
Antonius Felix Procurator Judaea AD52-59 (BIBLE)
AD62-65 Albinus is made Procurator
AD 65- Florus
Porcius Festus was governor of Judea under Nero. (BIBLE)
Tinius Rufus, ruler of Judea 130AD
Since the Bible is VERY concerned with Jerusalem, and it's narratives & history, revolve around Judea & Jerusalem, why would it not mention a "Land of Jerusalem"?
THERE ARE MANY OTHER RULERS OF VARIOUS PLACES BUT NO Ruler of the LAND of Jerusalem.
King Herod the Great, King of Judea, son of Antipater (BIBLE)
Herod Antipas, the son of Herod, was the Tetrach - ruler of Galilee
Quirinius was governor of Syria 4AD
King Herod the Great, King of Judea, son of Antipater (BIBLE)
Herod Antipas, the son of Herod, was the Tetrach - ruler of Galilee
Quirinius was governor of Syria 4AD
In addition to historical records & Artifacts there is a wealth of secular historians!
DON'T FORGET THESE!

There is a wealth of material & yet No LAND of Jerusalem.
There are Roman materials, Babylonian materials, The Bible, Modern day Jews & still no Land of Jerusalem.
Wasn't the Book of Lehi lost with the 116 pages Martin Harris lost?
Maybe the "Land of Jerusalem" was in there?
