Exegesis

The vav-consecutive imperfect vayimlokh {וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ | way-yi-m-lō-ḵ} ‘and he reigned’ introduces the royal succession, followed by the proper name Nadav {נָדָ֥ב | nā-ḏāḇ}, the construct beno {בְּנ֖וֹ | bə-nō} ‘his son’ and the prepositional phrase takhtav {תַּחְתָּֽיו | taḥ-ˈtāv} ‘in his place’, reflecting the transfer of authority.
