Exegesis
The relative particle asher {אֲשֶׁ֣ר | ʾă-šer} ‘who’ introduces the Hophal predicate homlach {הָמְלַ֔ךְ | hā-mə-laḵ} ‘was made king,’ governing the prepositional phrase al malkhut Kasdim {עַ֖ל מַלְכ֥וּת כַּשְׂדִּֽים | ʿal mal-ḵûṯ kaś-dîm} ‘over the kingdom of the Chaldeans.’ The Hebrew narrative sequence (temporal → name → genealogy → relative clause → predicate → object) foregrounds timing and legitimacy in Darius’s accession.
