Exegesis
The verse advances by a chain of narrative wayyiqtol forms—wayyaal {וַיַּ֨עַל | way-yaʿal} ‘and he came up’ followed by repeated wayyiqqach {וַיִּקַּ֞ח | way-yiqqaḥ} ‘and he took’—creating rapid, cumulative action.
In context — 2 Chronicles 12:9
Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took the treasures of the house of the LORD , and the treasures of the king’s house; he took everything. He also took the gold shields that Solomon made.
