Exegesis
The adverb az {אָ֛ז | ʾāz} ‘then’ introduces the result clause, where shama {שָׁמַ֥ע | šāmaʿ} ‘he listened’ with hamelekh {הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ | hammēlēk} as subject and aleihem {אֲלֵיהֶֽם | ʾălêhem} ‘to them’ marking the recipients. The inversion of verb and subject in the second clause underscores the king’s responsive role and the officials’ influence.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:17
And after the death of Jehoiada , officials of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
