Exegesis
The final vav-consecutive Qal imperfect vayimloch {וַיִּמְלֹךְ | vayyimlāḵ} ‘and he began to reign’ returns to the main narrative, followed by the name phrase akhazyahu ben-yehoram melekh yehudah {אֲחַזְיָהוּ בֶּן־יְהוֹרָם מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה | ’ăḥazyāhû ben-Yehôrām meleḳ Yehûḏāh} to specify his identity and title.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:1
The inhabitants of Jerusalem enthroned Ahaziah, his youngest son, as king in his place because the troop that came with the Arabs to the camp had killed all the older sons. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign.
