Exegesis
The clause v’shem immo {וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ | wə-šēm im-mō} ‘and the name of his mother’ introduces maternal lineage with the proper name Yekholyahu {יְכָלְיָהוּ֖ | yĕ-ḵā-lyā-hû} ‘Jekoliah’ and its origin mi-Yerushalayim {מִירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם | mi-yǔ-ru-šǎ-lā-yim} ‘from Jerusalem’. This sequence—age, accession, reign duration with location, and parentage—follows the standard regnal summary pattern in the Deuteronomistic History, reinforcing dynastic continuity.
