Exegesis
The conjunction kaʾasher {כַּאֲשֶׁר | ka-ʾă-šer} ‘when’ introduces a temporal clause, which is realized by chazkah {חָזְקָה | ḥā-zə-qāh} ‘it was strong’ in a nominal statement with hamamlakhah {הַמַּמְלָכָה | ham-mǎl-lā-kāh} ‘the kingdom’ and the prepositional phrase beyado {בְּיָדוֹ | bə-yā-dô} ‘in his hand’ indicating possession.
In context — 2 Kings 14:5
And it happened, when the kingdom had become secure in his grasp, that he struck the servants who had struck the king his father.
