Exegesis
The prepositional phrase barosh {בָּרֹאשׁ | bā-rōš} ‘at the head’ functions predicatively with haElohim {הָאֱלֹהִים | hā-ʾĕlō-hîm} ‘the God’, asserting God’s position as the one in front; the paseq ׀ visually and rhetorically separates this headline claim from the supporting details that follow.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:12
And look, the God is with us at the head, with His priests and the trumpets of the alarm shout to sound an alarm against you. Sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD , the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.
