Exegesis
The second mālaḵ {מָלַךְ | mālaḵ} introduces the reign-location bîrûšālayim {בִּירוּשָׁלַם | bîrûšālayim} ‘in Jerusalem,’ then a specifying apposition hāʿîr {הָעִיר | hāʿîr} ‘the city’ is expanded by a relative clause ʾăšer-bāḥar YHWH {אֲשֶׁר־בָּחַר יְהוָה | ʾăšer-bāḥar YHWH} ‘which the LORD chose.’
In context — 1 Kings 14:21
And Rehoboam , the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. Forty-one years old was Rehoboam when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD chose from all the tribes of Israel to set His Name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
