Exegesis
The final verbless segment vehaleviim bammelakhet {וְהַלְוִיִּ֖ם בַּמְּלָאכֶת | wə-hă-lə-wî-yîm bam-mə-lā-khet} ‘and the Levites (are) in the work’ compresses their supporting role into a succinct duty statement, which English renders with an explicit copula or duty verb for clarity.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:10
But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests minister to the LORD—sons of Aaron—and the Levites are in the work.
