Exegesis
The construct beno {בְּנוֹ | bə-nô} ‘his son’ combined with the prepositional noun takhtav {תַּחְתָּיו | taḥtāw} ‘in his place’ forms a phrase specifying the successor’s identity and office. The compact sequence of vav-consecutives and nominal phrases underscores the seamless transition in royal succession.
