Exegesis
The narrative unfolds through vav-consecutive verbs that coordinate successive actions: vayya‘ăśû {וַיַּעֲשׂוּ | wayya‘ăśû} ‘and they did’, wəṯṯā‘al {וַתַּעַל | wəṯṯā‘al} ‘and it rose’, wayya‘ammîḏû {וַיַּעֲמִידוּ | wayya‘ammîḏû} ‘and they set up’, wayya‘amməṣû-hû {וַיְאַמְּצֻהוּ | wayya‘amməṣû-hû} ‘and they strengthened it’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:13
And the workers completed the work, and the repair progressed under them. They set up the house of God upon its foundation and strengthened it.
