Exegesis
This verse employs a series of vav-consecutive verbs to drive rapid narrative progression: vayanusu {וַיָּנֻסוּ | wayyānûsû} ‘and they fled’, vatipol {וַתִּפֹּל֙ | wattippōl} ‘and it fell’, nas {נָ֔ס | nās} ‘he fled’, and vayavo {וַיָּבֹ֥א | wayyāḇō} ‘and he came’.

And the remaining fled to Aphek, to the city. Then the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of those who remained. Ben-Hadad fled into the city and entered an inner room .
