Exegesis
The phrase min-ha-chorim {מִן־הַחֹרִים | min-ha-ḥōrîm} introduces the source, while the relative clause asher hitchabbeʾu-sham {אֲשֶׁר הִתְחַבְּאוּ־שָׁם | ʾăšer hitḥabbəʾū-šām} employs a Hitpaʿel perfect to underscore agentive concealment. This structure preserves Hebrew sequential flow and dramatic emphasis in the English renderings.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:11
Then the two of them revealed themselves to the Philistine outpost, and the Philistines said, “Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes in which they had hidden .”
