Exegesis
The verse opens with halo {הֲלֹא | hălōʾ} ‘is it not’, a rhetorical question that presses the audience toward agreement rather than requesting information.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:5
Is it not for you to know that the LORD God of Israel has given the kingdom over Israel to David forever—to him and to his sons—by a covenant of salt, salt ?
