Exegesis

The verse begins with the age expression featuring ben {בֶּן | bēn} ‘son’ + the compound numeral esrim ushtayim {עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁתַּיִם | ʿeśrîm û-šṭayim} ‘twenty-two’ + shanah {שָׁנָה | šānāh} ‘year’.

The prepositional phrase bemolcho {בְּמָלְכ֔וֹ | bə-malkô} ‘in his reign’ introduces the temporal frame, followed by the coordinated duration ushṭayim shanim {וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנִים | û-šṭayim šā-nîm} ‘and two years’ which precedes the verb malach {מָלַךְ | mālaḵ} ‘he reigned’.
