Exegesis
The clause concludes with the locative prepositional phrase beninveh {בְּנִֽינְוֵה | bə-ni-nvē} ‘in Nineveh’, marking the endpoint of the action. The use of multiple vav-consecutives necessitates coordinating conjunctions in English to reflect the Hebrew aspectual progression and final result.
In context — 2 Kings 19:36
