Exegesis
Proper names Zāḇāḏ and Jehozābāḏ are then identified with matronymics (ben {בֶּן־ |bén} + mother’s name) and gentilic adjectives ha-ammonit {הָֽעַמּוֹנִ֔ית |hā-ʿammōnîṯ} and ha-moavit {הַמּוֹאָבִֽית |hā-môʾā·vîṯ} to emphasize foreign lineage. The vav-conjunctions coordinate the two conspirators, and English rendering maintains participial nuance while smoothing construct chains for clarity.
