Exegesis
The narrative opens with venatnu {וְנָתְנוּ | wə-nā-tə-nû} ‘and they placed’, a vav-consecutive Qal imperfect verb that drives the action sequence.
In context — 2 Kings 19:18
And they placed their gods in the fire, for they were not gods, but the work of human hands—wood and stone—and they destroyed them.
