Exegesis
The phrase wəʾarbaʿat bānāyw ʿimmō {וְאַרְבַּ֧עַת בָּנָ֛יו עִמּ֖וֹ | wəʾarbaʿat bānāyw ʿimmō} adds accompanying participants, and the participle mitḥabbəʾîm {מִֽתְחַבְּאִ֑ים | mitḥabbəʾîm} ‘hiding themselves’ functions circumstantially, portraying their fear-response as concurrent with Ornan’s seeing.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:20
And Ornan turned back and saw the angel , and his four sons with him were hiding themselves; and Ornan was threshing wheat .
