Exegesis
The vav-consecutive wayya‘amod {וַיַּעֲמֹד֙ | wāy-ya-‘ă-mōḏ} ‘and stood’ plus the prepositional phrase lifnei YHWH {לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה | li-p̄nê Yə-hō-wāh} creates a theophanic courtroom scene.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:20
And the spirit went out and stood before the LORD , and said, “I will entice him.” And the LORD said to him, “By what means?”
