SIBI-P1 H4427-01

in his reigning as king

Rootמלך (m-l-k)
Core Meaningsto reign, to rule, to become king, kingship, royal authority
Semantic Rangeto become king, to ascend the throne, to reign, to exercise royal authority, to establish kingship
Conceptual SignificanceThe root מלך is central to Israel’s understanding of kingship, whether human or divine. It expresses not merely political rule but the exercise of covenantal authority, often highlighting the transition into royal office and the legitimacy of a ruler’s reign.
Morphological NotesPreposition ב + Qal infinitive construct of מלך + 3ms pronominal suffix; functions temporally ("when he reigned" or "in his reigning").
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition ב ("in/when") prefixed to the Qal infinitive construct of מלך with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"). "In his reigning as king" preserves the verbal force of the root מלך (to reign, to exercise kingship) and accurately reflects the masculine singular suffix.
