Exegesis
The sof pasuq break sets up a contrastive follow-up: urehav'am hayah na'ar {וּרְחַבְעָם הָיָה נַעַר | û-rəḥaḇʿām hāyāh naʿar} gives background description, and verakh-levav {וְרַךְ־לֵבָב | wə-raḵ-lēḇāḇ} adds a disposition that explains vulnerability.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:7
And worthless men, sons of Belial , gathered against him and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon; and Rehoboam was a youth and tender of heart, and he did not strengthen himself before them.
