Exegesis
The verse opens with vayishkav {וַיִּשְׁכַּב | wayyiškab} ‘and he lay’, a conventional death formula introducing Asa {אָסָא | ʾāsā} followed by the construct phrase im-avotav {עִם־אֲבֹתָיו | ʿim-ʼāwōṯāw} ‘with his fathers’. The vav consecutive pair vayishkav…vayamat links burial imagery and death seamlessly.
