Exegesis
The verse advances the battle narrative through a chain of wayyiqtol forms: vayyakku {וַיַּכּ֥וּ | wayyaqqû} ‘and they struck’ drives the action forward, and wayyippelu {וַיִּפְּל֣וּ | wayyippəlû} ‘and they fell’ presents the immediate result.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:17
And Abijah and his people struck them with a great blow , and 500,000 young men from Israel fell slain.
