Exegesis
The subsequent vav consecutive vayanusu {וַיָּנֻסוּ | va-yā-nû-sû} ‘and they fled’ returns focus to the Cushites, emphasizing the outcome. Hebrew VSO word order accentuates YHWH’s sovereignty, while English SVO order maintains clarity. The repetition of “before Asa and before Judah” underscores both royal and national deliverance.
