Exegesis
The final vayelammedu {וַֽיְלַמְּד֖וּ | wayyəlammedū} and baam {בָּעָם | bā-‘ām} ‘among the people’ underscore the continuous teaching mission. This structure emphasizes both the mobility of the king’s envoys and their commitment to transmitting divine instruction throughout the community.
In context — 2 Chronicles 17:9
And they taught in Judah, and with them was the Book of the Law of the LORD . They went about through all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
