Exegesis
The verb mālaḵ {מָלַ֥ךְ | mā·laḵ} ‘he reigned’ precedes the subject ʾăbîyām {אֲבִיָּ֖ם | ʾă·bî·yām} and the prepositional phrase ʿal·yə·hū·ḏāh {עַל־יְהוּדָֽה׃ | ʿal yə·hū·ḏāh} ‘over Judah’, conveying territorial dominion. The Hebrew verb–subject–object order is rendered in English subject–verb–object to reflect standard syntax while preserving the source clause relationships.
