Exegesis
Finally, the verbless clause we-shem immo {וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ | wə-šēm ʾim-mō} ‘and the name of his mother’ introduces Athaliah’s matronymic identification with omri {עָמְרִי | ʿom-rî}. The concise, formulaic structure reflects the Deuteronomistic historian’s chronological record style.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:2
Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began his reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah , granddaughter of Omri.
