Exegesis
The verb ḥip-pāh {חִפָּה | ḥip-pāh} ‘he paneled’ (Qal perfect) precedes the material phrase ʿēṣ bə-rō-šîm {עֵץ בְּרוֹשִׁים | ʿēṣ bə-rō-šîm} ‘wood with cypresses’, reflecting typical verb–object order.
In context — 2 Chronicles 3:5
And he paneled the great house with cypress wood, and he overlaid it with fine gold, and he set upon it palm trees and chainwork.
