Exegesis
The sequence shifts with the vav-consecutive imperfect vayyered {וַיֵּ֨רֶד | wə-yē-red} ‘and he went down’ and the dative elav {אֵלָ֜יו | ʾē-lāv} ‘to him’, marking Joash’s descent.
In context — 2 Kings 13:14
And Elisha became ill with the sickness that would lead to his death; then Joash, king of Israel, went down to him, wept over his face and said, “My father , my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!”
