Exegesis
The maternal note veshem immô {וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ | wə-šēm immô} ‘and the name of his mother’ followed by Yĕrûšāʾ {יְרוּשָׁ֖א | Yĕrûšāʾ} and bat-Ṣādôq {בַּת־צָדֽוֹק | bat-Ṣādôq} asserts dynastic legitimacy through matrilineal identification. The English version mirrors Hebrew temporal sequence and emphasis while adopting an SVO structure for clarity.
In context — 2 Kings 15:33
