Exegesis
Finally, the construct lekherdat Elohim {לְחֶרְדַּ֥ת אֱלֹהִֽים | lə-ḥer-dāt ʾĕ-lō-hîm} ‘for a panic of God’ shifts emphasis to divine causation. The sequential vav-consecutives intensify the sense of escalating terror, and the construct chain underscores the theological source of the outcome.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:15
And panic came upon the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The outpost and the raiders trembled as well; the earth shook, and it became a panic from God .
