Exegesis
The contrastive clause ve-atah levash bigdēḵā {וְאַתָּה לְבַשׁ בִּגְדֶיךָ | wəʾattāh lěvāš bigdēḵā} emphasizes Jehoshaphat’s visible identity through his royal attire. The narrative then continues with wayyitḥappeś and wayyāḇōʾ, confirming the king’s actions. Repetition of ba-milḥāma underscores the dramatic irony of his concealed presence.
