Exegesis
The verse employs a royal succession formula with a sequence of vav-consecutive verbs: vayishkav {וַיִּשְׁכַּב | wayyīškaḇ} ‘and he lay down’ as a euphemism for death, followed by vayikkaver {וַיִּקָּבֵר | wayyiqqāḇēr} ‘and he was buried,’ both sharing the prepositional phrase im avotav {עִם־אֲבֹתָיו | ʿim ăḇôṯāyw} ‘with his fathers,’ linking Jehoshaphat to his lineage.
