Exegesis
The noun bənô {בְּנוֹ | bə-nô} ‘his son’ marks familial relationship, and taḥtāv {תַּחְתָּיו | taḥ-tāv} ‘in his place’ signifies legal inheritance, a dynastic rather than military transition. English maintains the Hebrew S V O order to preserve the focus on hereditary succession.
Root and etymology
t-ḥ-ttav–chet–tav

In context — 2 Kings 13:24
