Exegesis
The clause opens with velo avah {וְלֹא אָבָה | wə-lō ʾāḇāh} ‘and not was willing,’ framing the outcome as a decision of divine will rather than inability.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:7
Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David, for the sake of the covenant that He made with David, and as He said, to give him a lamp and to his sons for all the days.
