Exegesis
The narrative uses a series of vav-consecutive verbs—vayevakesh {וַיְבַקֵּשׁ֩ | wă-yĕ-ḇaq-qēš} ‘and he sought,’ vayilkeduhu {וַֽיִּלְכְּדֻ֜הוּ | wă-yil-ke-dū-hū} ‘and they captured him,’ vayiveihu {וַיְבִאֻ֣הוּ | wă-yə-bî-ʾū-hū} ‘and they brought him,’ vayemituhu {וַיְמִתֻהוּ֒ | wă-yə-mi-tū-hū} ‘and they put him to death,’ and vayikberuhu {וַֽיִּקְבְּרֻ֔הוּ | wă-yik-bə-rū-hū} ‘and they buried him’—to create rapid progression.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:9
Then he searched for Ahaziah, and they captured him while he was hiding in Samaria; they brought him to Jehu, and they put him to death and buried him. For they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So there was no one in the house of Ahaziah able to retain strength for the kingdom.
