Exegesis
The comparative conjunction kaʾăšer {כַּאֲשֶׁר | kaʾăšer} ‘just as’ establishes parallelism with the adverb kên {כֵּן | kên} ‘so’, linking the sword’s action to the judgment declared.
The Piel perfect šiklāh {שִׁכְּלָה | šiklāh} conveys agentive causation by the sword ḥarbəḵā {חַרְבְּךָ | ḥarbəḵā}, while the Qal imperfect tiškāl {תִּשְׁכַּל | tiškāl} places the result in the future with reference to Agag’s mother.
In context — 1 Samuel 15:33
And Samuel said, “Just as your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal.
