Exegesis
The subject is first specified as bnei-yisrael {בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל | bənê-yiśrāʾēl} and then the action pivots to divine agency when elohim {אֱלֹהִ֖ים | ʾĕlōhîm} appears after the second verb, clarifying that the “giving over” is God’s decisive act.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:16
And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand .
