Exegesis
A second coordinated wayyiqtol, vayitammetsu {וַיִּתְאַמְּצוּ | wayyitʾamməṣû} ‘and they strengthened themselves,’ portrays deliberate self-bolstering, and its object is expressed by the prepositional target al-rehav'am {עַל־רְחַבְעָם | ʿal-rəḥaḇʿām} ‘against Rehoboam.’
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.
