Exegesis
After the general object arim {עָרִים | ʿārîm} ‘cities,’ the verse shifts into an accumulative list marked by repeated ʾet {אֶת | ʾet}, a discourse pattern that foregrounds each captured location one by one.
In context — 2 Chronicles 13:19
And Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured cities from him: Bethel and its villages , Jeshanah and its villages, and Ephron (Ephraim) and its villages.
