Exegesis
The perfect verb malakh {מָלַךְ | mā-lāḵ} ‘reigned/became king’ is followed by the age construct ben-esrim ve-chamesh shanah {בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה | ben-‘eś-rîm wə-ḥā-mēš šā-nāh} ‘son of twenty and five years,’ functioning as an absolute age statement in a construct chain.
A parallel construct ve-esrim va-tesha shanah malakh {וְעֶשְׂרִים וָתֵשַׁע שָׁנָה מָלַךְ | wə-‘eś-rîm wā-ṯē-ša‘ šā-nāh mā-lāḵ} ‘and twenty and nine years he reigned’ specifies the reign’s duration.
