Exegesis
The prepositional phrase al yisra'el {עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל | ʿal yiś-rā-ʾēl} marks territorial jurisdiction, while bishnat shetayim {בִּשְׁנַת שְׁתַּיִם | biš-nat šə-ta-yim} combines a feminine construct noun and cardinal numeral to yield “second year.”
The second vav-consecutive verb vayyimlokh {וַיִּמְלֹךְ | wa-yim-lō-kh} restates rule over Israel with the dual-duration phrase al yisra'el shnatayim {עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁנָתַיִם | ʿal yiś-rā-ʾēl šə-na-ta-yim}. English renders reorder construct chains into possessive phrases and adapts the Hebrew dual to a standard cardinal expression.
