Exegesis
The distributive ish beveito {אִ֥ישׁ בְּבֵיתֽוֹ | ʾîš bə-ḇêṯô} ‘each in his own house’ individualizes each king. In translation, the Hebrew VSO order is rendered into SVO for natural English flow, the perfect is rendered in the present to convey ongoing state, and the distributive nuance is maintained.
In context — Isaiah 14:18
All the kings of the nations—every one of them—lie down in glory , each in his own house .
