SIBI-P1 H4427-50
in his reigning
| Morphological Notes | Prefixed preposition בְּ ("in/when") + Qal perfect 3ms of מלך with 3ms pronominal suffix וֹ ("his"). The form denotes a temporal clause: "in/when he reigned." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular with a 3ms pronominal suffix and prefixed בְּ preposition. "In his reigning" preserves the verbal sense of the root מלך (to reign, to exercise kingship) and reflects the masculine singular subject indicated by the suffix "his." |
