Exegesis
The narrative resumes with vayimlokh {וַיִּמְלֹ֖ךְ | va-yim-lōḵ} ‘and he reigned,’ another vav-consecutive with a Qal imperfect, followed by tahtav {תַּחְתָּֽיו | taḥ-tāw} ‘in his place,’ marking the succession of authority. The original VSO order is rendered into English SVO for clarity while preserving temporal and causal relationships.
