Exegesis
Two fronted temporal phrases, bashanah harishonah {בַשָּׁנָה הָרִאשׁוֹנָה | baššānāh hāriʾšōnāh} ‘in the first year’ and bachodesh harishon {בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן | baḥōḏeš hāriʾšōn} ‘in the first month,’ locate the action at the outset of the reign; the infinitive construction lemalko {לְמָלְכ֜וֹ | lə-malkô} ‘of his reigning’ functions as a regnal frame within the first temporal phrase.
In context — 2 Chronicles 29:3
He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD and repaired them.
