Exegesis
The Qal participles holekh {הֹלֵ֥ךְ | hô-lêk} “going” and vegadel {וְגָדֵ֖ל | wə-ḡā-ḏêl} “growing great” form a coordinated ascent, intensified by the prepositional phrase ad-lemalah {עַד־לְמָעְלָה | ʿad-lə-mā-ʿā-lā} “upward.”
In context — 2 Chronicles 17:12
And Jehoshaphat kept increasing, becoming greater and greater, and he built strongholds in Judah and cities for storehouses .
