Exegesis
The temporal clause bishnat arbaʿim veachat le-malko {בִּשְׁנַת אַרְבָּעִים וְאַחַת לְמַלְכוֹ | bišnaṯ arbāʿīm wə-ḥaṯ lə-malkō} uses a preposition-construct-numeral chain for regnal dating. The English renderings preserve this sequence by maintaining burial, death, and precise regnal timing in order.
In context — 2 Chronicles 16:13
And Asa lay with his fathers , and he died in the forty-first year of his reign .
