Exegesis
A series of prepositional phrases introduced by min {מִן | min} and u-min {וּמִן | u-min} specifies the sources—ʾArām Naharayim {אֲרַם נַהֲרַיִם | ʾArām Naharayim}, ʾArām Maʿaḵâ {אֲרַם מַעֲכָה | ʾArām Maʿaḵâ}, and Zobah {צּוֹבָה | Ṣōḇâ}—for rek̠hev {רֶכֶב | rek̠hev} ‘chariots’ and u-p̄ārāšîm {וּפָרָשִׁים | u-p̄ārָšîm} ‘horsemen’. Converting the Hebrew VSO structure into English SVO clarifies the sequence of realization followed by military preparations while preserving the layered infinitive and prepositional constructions that convey sustained effort to recruit foreign forces.
