Exegesis
The closing clause velo hitchazek lifneihem {וְלֹא הִתְחַזֵּק לִפְנֵיהֶם | wə-lōʾ hitḥazzēq lipnêhem} uses negation with a reflexive-strength verb to underscore failure to take a firm stance “before them,” a face-to-face context of pressure.
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.
