Exegesis
The subsequent vav-consecutive Qal imperfect vayyifshatu {וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ | va-yip-ša-ṯû} ‘and they raided’ propels the narrative, and the prepositional phrase baʿemek {בָּעֵֽמֶק | bă-ʿê-meq} ‘in the valley’, marked by the definite article, specifies a known strategic locale. In the formal approach, sequential actions and repetition are mirrored to preserve the Hebrew emphasis; in the dynamic version, the same intensification is rendered in idiomatic contemporary English.
