Exegesis
The closing clause wayhi-lo {וַֽיְהִי־ל֥וֹ | wayhî-lō} ‘and it came to be for him’ presents the outcome rather than a new action, culminating in the paired nouns osher-vekavod {עֹֽשֶׁר־וְכָב֖וֹד | ʿōšer-wə-ḵāḇōḏ} ‘wealth and honor,’ intensified by larov {לָרֹֽב׃ | lā-rōḇ} ‘in abundance.’ The syntax alternates divine establishment, human tribute, and resulting prosperity, emphasizing that royal stability and honor flow from YHWH’s enabling.
In context — 2 Chronicles 17:5
And the LORD firmly established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gave Jehoshaphat tribute , and he came to have wealth and honor in abundance.
