Exegesis
The concurrent v’atalyah molekhet {וַעֲתַלְיָ֖ה מֹלֶ֥כֶת | vaʿaṭalyāh mōlekhet} ‘and Athaliah reigning’ describes her rule, and the prepositional phrase al ha-aretz {עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | ʿal hāʾāreṣ} ‘over the land’ defines its scope. The coordination of vav consecutives and participles preserves overlapping events in English.
