Exegesis
The direct-object-marker plus object, et-ammo {אֶת-עַמּוֹ | ʾet ʿammō} ‘his people’, is followed by netancha {נְתָנְךָ | nǝtānxā} ‘he has given you’, and the prepositional phrase aleihem {עֲלֵיהֶם | ʿalêhem} ‘over them’, which together introduce the predicate nominal melekh {מֶלֶךְ | meleḵ} ‘king’. In English the vav-consecutive verbs are rendered in past tense narrative (“replied,” “sent”), the causal infinitive is translated as “Because of” in the formal version and as “Because” in the dynamic version, the direct-object-marker is incorporated into English object position, and the preposition aleihem is rendered “over them,” preserving the original causal and appointive sequence.
In context — 2 Chronicles 2:11
Huram, king of Tyre, replied in writing to Solomon, “Because of the love of the LORD for his people , He has made you king over them.”
