Exegesis
The final vav consecutive in vayanusu {וַיָּנּוּסוּ | way-ya-nû-sû} ‘and they fled’ with mippanav {מִפָּנָיו | mip-pā-nāw} ‘from before him’ depicts the Arameans’ sudden flight. In English the coordinated “and” preserves the Hebrew narrative sequence, and the purpose phrase is rendered as an active conflict description.

נ־ו־ס
“to flee, escape”
