Exegesis
The Qal perfect chazkah {חָזְקָה | ḥā·zaq·āh} ‘was strengthened’ takes hamamlakhah {הַמַּמְלָכָה | ham·ma·la·ḵāh} ‘the kingdom’ with the locative phrase alav {עָלָיו | ʻā·lāyw} ‘under him’, emphasizing secure dominion.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:3
When the kingdom had become secure under him, he put to death the servants who had struck down the king, his father .
