Exegesis
A series of vav-consecutive imperfects—vatikna {וַתִּכָּנַע | vaṯ·ṯi·ḵā·nā‘} ‘and you humbled yourself’, vatikra {וַתִּקְרַע | vaṯ·ṯiq·rā‘} ‘and you tore’, and vativkeh {וַתִּבְכֶּה | vaṯ·ṯiv·kěh} ‘and you wept’—portray cumulative repentance rites.
In context — 2 Kings 22:19
Because your heart was softened and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard My words about this place and its inhabitants—that they were destined for desolation and curse—and you tore your garments and wept before Me, I have heard you also, declares the LORD.
