Exegesis
The conjunction w- introduces the duration phrase u-shmonah shanim {וּשְׁמוֹנֶ֣ה שָׁנִ֔ים | wə-šmo-nê ša-nîm} modifying the verb malakh {מָלַ֖ךְ | mā-lăḳ}, and the subsequent locative bi-rushalayim {בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם | bĕ-rû-šă-lā-yim} specifies the setting. The sequence foregrounds age before detailing the span and location of his reign, underscoring dynastic legitimacy.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:5
