Exegesis
The paired locatives bein-sokhoh {בֵּין־שׂוֹכֹה | bēn-sōḵōh} and u-bein-azekah {וּבֵין־עֲזֵקָה | ūbēn-ʿăzēqāh}, with be-efes dammim {בְּאֶפֶס דַּמִּים | bĕʾepes dammîm}, establishes the precise geography of the encampment. The paratactic structure builds momentum from assembly to encampment.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:1
The Philistines gathered their camps for battle ; they assembled at Socoh in Judah and set up camp between Socoh and Azekah at Efes Dammim.
