Exegesis
The series of proper names is completed by the conjunctional element vaazaryah {וַעֲזַרְיָֽה | va-ʿă-zar-yāh}, linking Azariah to the list. In translation, the Hebrew construct order places the tribal identifier before the names, whereas English natural order positions the descriptive phrase after the verb to maintain clarity and emphasis on the names.
