Exegesis
The construct chain YHWH ʼĕlōhê ’ăḇōtāw {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָיו | yəhōwāh ʼĕlōhê ʼăḇōtāw} binds the divine name to the ancestral title, creating a theological climax that contrasts covenant unfaithfulness with political collapse.

“father, ancestor”
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:10
And Edom rebelled from under Judah’s hand until this very day. Then Libnah also rebelled from under his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD , God of his ancestors .
