Footnotes
The Chronicler names the queen mother, *Yekolyahu* ("YHWH is able"), a customary marker of legitimacy in royal succession formulae. Her Jerusalem origin underscores the dynasty's rootedness in the city of David. The name itself is a quiet theological confession — the king's mother bore witness that YHWH's capacity is the foundation of any human reign.
