Exegesis
Two temporal modifiers, bəmalkho {בְמָלְכוֹ | bə-māl-kô} ‘in his reign’ and kəšivto {כְּשִׁבְתּ֣וֹ | kə-šîv-tô} ‘as he sat’, establish immediacy upon enthronement.
In context — 1 Kings 16:11
And it happened, when he began to reign and sat upon his throne, that he struck down all the house of Baasha. He did not leave for him one who urinates against a wall nor any of his kinsmen or his friends .
