Exegesis
The prepositional phrase im YHWH {עִם־יְהוָה | ʿim Yə-hō-wāh} marks the object of devotion, and the construct kol-yamav {כָּל־יָמָיו | kol yā-māw} expresses temporal extent. The juxtaposition of clauses preserves the Hebrew contrast between the persistence of the high places and Asa’s undivided heart.
Root and etymology
heh–yod–hehheh–yod–heh
“to be, exist”
