Exegesis
In the construct chain dvar-hammelekh {דְּבַר־הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ | də-var-ham-me-leḵ}, ‘word’ attaches to ‘king’ to assert royal authority, further qualified by ha-gadol me-lekh {הַגָּד֖וֹל מֶ֥לֶךְ | ha-gā-dōl me-leḵ} and ashur {אַשּֽׁוּר | ’aš-šūr}, naming the Assyrian realm. Rendering these as genitive chains preserves the Hebrew constructs while clarifying clause relationships.
