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.
In context — 2 Kings 15:27
In the fifty-second year of Azariah, king of Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twenty years.
