Exegesis
Kings and princes are then described in parallel participial clauses: yoshvim {יֹשְׁבִים | yōš-ḇîm} ‘sitting’ upon the throne and rokhvim {רֹכְבִים | roḵ-ḇîm} ‘riding’ in chariots and on horses, highlighting ceremonial posture. The inclusion of ‘their officials, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem’ underscores a communal dimension to the royal entry.
