Exegesis
The clause opens with a fronted compound object, veha-kesef {וְהַכֶּ֣סֶף | wə-hā-ké-sef} ‘and the silver’ plus vehazahav {וְהַזָּהָ֗ב | wə-hā-zā-hāḇ} ‘and the gold,’ foregrounding the tribute before the verb.
In context — 2 Kings 23:35
Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; however, he assessed the land to give the silver at Pharaoh’s word, and he exacted the silver and the gold from the people of the land, each man according to his valuation, to give to Pharaoh Necho.
