Exegesis
The sequence vayya‘er et-banav ba-’esh {וַיַּבְעֵ֤ר אֶת־בָּנָיו֙ בָּאֵ֔שׁ | way-ya-‘êr ʾet-bā-nāyw bā-’êš} uses the vav-consecutive with the Hiphil imperfect to mark narrative progression and indicate the king ‘caused his sons to pass through fire,’ reflecting child sacrifice.
In context — 2 Chronicles 28:3
And he burned incense in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom and made his sons pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had driven out from before the sons of Israel.
