Exegesis
The verse advances with a wayyiqtol chain, beginning with vayyiqqavetsu {וַיִּקָּבְצוּ | wayyiqqāḇəṣû} ‘and they gathered,’ followed by the directional phrase alav {עָלָיו | ʿalāyw} ‘against him,’ marking the action as hostile rather than merely assembling.
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.
