Exegesis
The final clause introduces wayyimmāleḵ {וַיִּמְלֹךְ | wayyimmāleḵ} ‘reigned,’ followed by bə-nō ṯaḥtāv {בְּנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּיו | bə-nō ṯaḥtāv} ‘in his son in his place’ to specify Jehoshaphat’s accession. This tight sequence of verbs and nominal phrases, connected by vav, exemplifies the concise historiographical style of the Deuteronomistic record.
In context — 1 Kings 15:24
Asa lay down with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
