Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase lirushalayim {לִֽירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם | lî-rû-šā-layim} ‘to Jerusalem’ specifies the ultimate locale. English renders the construct state as a possessive and maintains Hebrew emphasis by placing condition adjacent to the verb.
In context — 2 Chronicles 19:1
Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went back to his house and reached Jerusalem in peace.
