Exegesis
The proper name mî-kha-yä-hû ben-yim-lāʾ {מִיכָ֥יְהוּ בֶן־יִמְלָֽא | mî-kha-yä-hû ben-yim-lāʾ} ‘Micaiah son of Imlah’ retains the Hebrew construct for identity. Hebrew’s verb-subject-object order shifts to subject-verb-object in English, and the repeated vav-consecutive underscores narrative continuity and immediacy.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:8
Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, “Quickly , bring Micaiah son of Imlah.”
