Exegesis
The participle khonim al Gibbethon {חֹנִ֔ים עַֽל־גִּבְּת֖וֹן | ḥōnîm ʿal-Gibbəṯōn} describes the people’s military posture, and the relative clause asher la-plishtim {אֲשֶׁ֥ר לַפְּלִשְׁתִּֽים | ʾăšer la-pəlišṭîm} marks Philistine possession. English rendering integrates Hebrew construct chains into fluid temporal sequences.
In context — 1 Kings 16:15
In Asa’s twenty-seventh year as king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah, while the people were camped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines .
