Exegesis
The sequence resumes with vayimloch {וַיִּמְלֹךְ | və-yim-lōḵ} ‘and he reigned’, followed by the subject ahab {אַחְאָב | ’āḥ-āḇ} and the status phrase bno tachtav {בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּיו | bə-nō ṯaḥ-tāyw} ‘his son in his place’, indicating dynastic succession. This progression from death to burial to reign exemplifies the Hebrew historiographical convention of sequential temporal narration.
