Exegesis
Proper names are linked by prepositional and construct chains, as in al-Yisrael be-Shomron {עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן | al-yiś-rā-ʾēl bə-šom-rôn} ‘over Israel in Samaria,’ specifying jurisdiction and capital. In translation, the temporal clause leads, proper names retain Hebrew order, and “reigned” is selected to reflect narrative historicity while preserving the cardinal numeral phrase.
Root and etymology
