Exegesis
The narrative then transitions to succession with vayimlokh {וַיִּמְלֹךְ | wayyimlōḵ} ‘and he reigned,’ identifying Jehoram (yehoram {יְהוֹרָם | yəhōrām}) as the new king, while the phrase takhtav {תַּחְתָּיו | takhattāyw} ‘in his place’ marks dynastic replacement. The formal translation mirrors the Hebrew word order to reflect event sequence, whereas the dynamic version restructures the clauses for natural English flow.
