Exegesis
The following wayyəʿîdū {וַיָּעִ֥ידוּ | wayyəʿîdū} ‘and they testified’ with bām {בָ֖ם | bām} ‘against them’ marks formal prophetic witness, and the coordinated negative clause wə-lōʾ heʾežînū {וְלֹא הֶאֱזִינוּ׃ | wə-lōʾ heʾežînū} ‘and they did not listen’ emphasizes Israel’s refusal to comply. The structure contrasts God’s restorative summons with the people’s rejection.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:19
And He sent prophets among them to bring them back to the LORD , and they testified against them, but they did not heed .
