Exegesis
{וּבְדַרְכֵ֖י | ûḇəḏarḵê} repeats the structure for parallelism. The English rendering positions “a letter” or “Jehoram” as subject for smooth flow while preserving the Hebrew causal and parallel syntax.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:12
A letter came to Jehoram from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Thus says the LORD , the God of David your father: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father or in the ways of Asa king of Judah.”
