Exegesis
The adverb sham {שָׁם | šām} ‘there’ specifies the site, and the construct et-benei {אֶת־בְּנֵי | ’et–bĕ-ney} ‘sons of’ plus yisrael {יִשְׂרָאֵל | yiś-rā-’ēl} denotes the ethnic group resettled. The sequence of perfect and imperfect forms under vav-consecutive exemplifies the royal annalistic style.
In context — 2 Chronicles 8:2
Solomon rebuilt the cities that Huram had given him, and he settled the sons of Israel in them.
