Exegesis
Narrative momentum shifts with the vav-consecutive vayippelu {וַיִּפְּל֥וּ | way-yip-pə-lû} ‘and they fell,’ and agency is marked by beyad¹ {בְיַד־ | bə-yad} and ubeyad² {וּבְיַד־ | ū-bə-yad} ‘by the hand of,’ identifying David {דָּוִיד | Dā-wîḏ} and his servants {עֲבָדָֽיו | ʿă-vā-ḏāw} as the agents of defeat.
In context — 1 Chronicles 20:8
These descendants of the Rapha in Gath fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
