Exegesis
The noun phrase matanot rabbot {מַתָּנ֨וֹת רַבּ֜וֹת | maṯṭānôt rabbôṯ} ‘many gifts’ is expanded by the distributive series lekesef ulezahav ulemigdannot {לְכֶסֶף וּלְזָהָב וּלְמִגְדָּנוֹת | ləḵeseph ûləzāhāḇ ûləmiġdānōṯ} ‘for silver, for gold, and for valuables’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:3
Their father gave them many gifts of silver, gold, and valuables, along with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
