Exegesis
The verse opens with the fronted subject va'anachnu {וַאֲנַחְנוּ | vă-ʾănakh-nû} ‘and we’, a discourse pivot that sets a strong contrast with the opposing group in the surrounding speech.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:10
But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests minister to the LORD—sons of Aaron—and the Levites are in the work.
