Exegesis
The Hebrew narrative employs a series of vav consecutive verbs (vayāqām {וַיָּקָם | wayyāqām} ‘and he rose up,’ wayittiḥazzēq {וַיִּתְחַזַּק | wayittiḥazzēq} ‘and he strengthened himself,’ wayahărōḡ {וַיַּהֲרֹג | wayahărōḡ} ‘and he killed’) to convey rapid sequential action.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:4
And Jehoram rose up over the kingdom of his father and strengthened himself, and he killed all his brothers with the sword—and also some of the officials of Israel.
