Exegesis
The prepositional phrase mipnei {מִפְּנֵ֣י | mippenê} ‘from before’ frames Judah as the immediate threat Israel withdraws from, while beyadam {בְּיָדָֽם | bə-yāḏām} ‘into their hand’ functions as a military-legal idiom for being placed under an opponent’s control. In English, the formal rendering keeps “before” and the “hand” idiom to retain the Hebraic imagery, while the dynamic rendering clarifies the implied referent (Judah’s forces) without changing the core transfer-of-control sense.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:16
And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand .
