Exegesis
The narrative begins with vayikbotz {וַיִּקְבֹּץ | wayyiqboṣ} ‘and he gathered,’ where the vav-consecutive marks sequential action.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:5
And he gathered the priests and the Levites and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect from all Israel money to strengthen the house of your God from year to year; and you, hasten the matter .” But the Levites did not hasten.
