Exegesis
The negation velo {וְלֹ֤א | və-lō’} ‘and not’ with nish'ar-lo {נִשְׁאַר־לוֹ֙ | niš-’ār-lō} ‘was left to him’ sets up the exception im-yehoachaz {אִם־יְהוֹאָחָ֖ז | ’im-Yə-hō-’ā-ḥāz} ‘except Jehoahaz,’ qualified by qeton {קְטֹ֥ן | qə-ṭōn} ‘youngest’ banav {בָּנָֽיו | bā-nāyw} ‘of his sons,’ creating a single heir outlier that heightens the totalizing effect. The English rendering preserves the momentum of successive actions and underscores the emphatic exception by contrast.
Root and etymology
ʾ-chaleph–chet
“brother”
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:17
They went up into Judah and broke it open, and took captive all the possessions that were found in the house of the king, and also his sons and his wives. No son was left to him except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
