Exegesis
The patronymic ben-Yotam follows Achaz, and the appositional title melek Yehudah {מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה | me-lekh ye-hu-dā(h)} identifies his kingdom. English order shifts to subject-verb after the temporal clause to meet target language norms while preserving the emphasis on dating and sovereignty.
In context — 2 Kings 16:1
