Exegesis
The verb ’āśû {עָשׂוּ | ’āśû} “they made” takes labba‘ălîm {לַבְּעָלִֽים | labba‘ălîm} “for the Baals,” denoting idolatrous dedication. The dual construct chains and pronominal suffix highlight both the hierarchy of Athaliah’s sons and the theological violation.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:7
For Athaliah the wicked woman, her sons broke into the house of God , and they dedicated all the holy things of the house of the LORD to the Baals.
