Exegesis
The clause then shifts perspective to Israel’s losses: chalalim {חֲלָלִ֔ים | ḥălālîm} functions as a casualty label (“the slain”), and the source phrase miyyisrael {מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל | miyyisrāʾēl} identifies which side suffered the dead.
Root and etymology
ch-l-lchet–lamed–lamed

In context — 2 Chronicles 13:17
