Exegesis
The temporal frame is supplied by achare {אַחֲרֵי | ʾaḥărê} ‘after’ governing the infinitive-construct chain shekav-hammelek {שְׁכַב־הַמֶּלֶךְ | šəḵaḇ-ham-meleḵ}, which, together with im-avotav {עִם־אֲבֹתָיו | ʿim-ʾăḇōṯāw} ‘with his fathers’, forms a conventional Hebrew idiom for the king’s death.
Root and etymology
’-baleph–bet
