Exegesis
The main action is expressed first by banah {בָּנָ֣ה | bānāh} ‘built’ and then by wayyeshibeha {וַיְשִׁבֶ֖הָ | wayyăšîḇehā}, a vav-consecutive form that advances the storyline with a second, consequent act: restoring the city to Judah.
In context — 2 Kings 14:22
He built Elath and restored it to Judah after the king lay down with his fathers.
