Exegesis
Wə-nāṭattî {וְנָתַתִּי | wə-nā-ṭat-tî} ‘and I will give’ shifts to a declarative perfect with future force, introducing the comparative clause kə-bêṯ Yārāḇəʿām ben Neḇāṭ {כְּבֵית יָרָבְעָם בֶּן־נְבָט | kə-bêṯ yā-rā-ḇə-ʿām ben ne-ḇā-ṭ} ‘like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat’. This simile draws a parallel judgment motif, linking the fates of these dynasties and underscoring divine sovereignty in orchestrating royal succession.
