Exegesis

A temporal frame follows: acharei {אַחֲרֵ֨י | ʾaḥărê} governs the infinitive bo {ב֤וֹא | bôʾ} ‘coming,’ forming “after (the) coming of Amaziah,” and mehaqqot {מֵֽהַכּ֣וֹת | mēhaqqōṯ} adds the circumstance “from striking down” the Edomites, tying the action directly to the aftermath of battle.
