Exegesis
The verse employs the vav-consecutive construction for narrative sequencing: vayiven {וַיִּבְנֶה | wayyibbneh} ‘and he built’ introduces the first action with ha’avanim {הָאֲבָנִים | haʾavānîm} ‘the stones’ marked by et {אֶת־ | ʾĕt}.
In context — 1 Kings 18:32
And he built the stones into an altar in the name of the LORD and made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
