Exegesis
The phrase ish yehudah {אִ֣ישׁ יְהוּדָ֑ה | ʾîš yəhûḏâ} functions collectively (“the men of Judah”), and its repetition after wayehi {וַיְהִ֗י | wayəhî} ‘and it happened’ creates a tight temporal linkage: the decisive turning point occurs precisely at the moment of beharia {בְּהָרִ֙יעַ֙ | bəhārîaʿ} ‘when shouting’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:15
So the men of Judah shouted , and as the men of Judah shouted, God struck down Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
