Exegesis
The phrase waʾămaṣyāhû ‘and Amaziah’ mirrors the subject, and the locative phrase bə-bêṯ šemeš {בְּבֵ֥ית שֶׁמֶשׁ | bə-bêṯ šemeš} ‘at Beth Shemesh’ combined with the relative clause ’ăšer li-yhûḏāh {אֲשֶׁר לִיהוּדָֽה | ’ăšer li-yhûḏāh} ‘which belongs to Judah’ situates the encounter within Judah’s territory.
