Exegesis
With beno {בְּנוֹ | bə-nō} ‘his son’ as the subject, the prepositional phrase takhtav {תַּחְתָּיו | taḥ-tā-v} ‘in his place’ designates the transfer of authority. The sequence of royal death followed by immediate enthronement underscores dynastic continuity and legitimacy in the Deuteronomistic history.
