Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase bi-Yerushalayim {בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם | bî-yĕ-rū-šā-lā-yim} “in Jerusalem” designates the location of his rule. Hebrew uses a chain of construct forms and vav-conjunctions to sequence age, accession, duration, and location; English renders these with concessional “when,” then duration, and location for clarity.
Root and etymology
y-r-šyod–resh–shin

In context — 2 Chronicles 36:2
