Exegesis
The prepositional frame lipnê mamləket YHWH {לִפְנֵי מַמְלֶכֶת יְהוָה | lip-nê mam-le-ket Yə-hō-wāh} ‘before the kingdom of the LORD’ sets the contested object: not merely Judah, but YHWH’s kingship as embodied in the Davidic line.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:8
And now, you are saying that you will strengthen yourselves before the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David, and you are a great multitude, and with you are golden calves which Jeroboam made for you as gods .
