Exegesis
The qal perfect verb malakh {מָלַךְ | mā-lakh} “he reigned” anchors the main clause, immediately followed by the locative prepositional phrase biyrushalayim {בִּירוּשָׁלָם | bî-rû-ša-lā-yim} specifying the royal seat.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:2
And he reigned in Jerusalem three years. The name of his mother was Micaiah , daughter of Uriel from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
