Exegesis
The complement alayhem {עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם | ʿă-lê-hêm} ‘over them’ clarifies that the kingship is established for Edom’s own governance, while the final noun melekh {מֶֽלֶךְ | mê-leḵ} ‘a king’ closes the sentence with the political result emphasized.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:8
In his days, Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah and installed a king over themselves.
