Exegesis
The direct object hamelech {הַמֶּלֶךְ | ham·mê·leḵ} ‘the king’ is defined by the appositive aviv {אָבִיו | ʼā·vî·yw} ‘his father’, underscoring filial betrayal. The Hebrew sequence of vav-consecutive verbs and participial modifiers yields a compact causal progression, rendered into English with corresponding relative and appositive structures to maintain clarity and emphasis.
