Exegesis
The Vav-consecutive wayyaʿrəkû {וַיַּ֣עַרְכ֔וּ | wayyaʿrəkû} ‘and they drew up’ with liqrāṯ {לִקְרַ֖את | liqrāṯ} ‘to meet/against’ forms a purpose clause indicating engagement readiness against benei {בְּנֵ֥י | bənē} ‘sons of’ ʿAmmôn {עַמּֽוֹן | ʿAmmôn}, reflecting a standard Hebrew battle idiom. The English rendering shifts VSO to SVO for clarity and renders tactical phrases idiomatically.
In context — 1 Chronicles 19:11
And he placed the remainder of the people into the hand of his brother Abishai, and they drew up to meet the sons of Ammon.
