Exegesis
The construct chain malkhei Yisrael {מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | malkē Yiśrā’ēl} connects him to the dynastic line, while the locative beshomron {בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן | bə-šōmrōn} identifies the northern capital as burial site. The phrase vayimlokh yarov’am beno takhtav merges the imperfect verb and construct clauses to denote immediate dynastic succession. The English translation shifts to an SVO pattern and explicates idiomatic expressions while preserving the narrative flow and legal nuance.
In context — 2 Kings 14:16
