Exegesis
The demonstrative ha’eleh {הָאֵלֶּה | hā-’ê-leh} ‘these’ modifies the direct object et-he’arim {אֶת־הֶעָרִים | ’et-hē-‘ā-rîm} ‘the cities’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 14:7
And he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls, towers, gates, and bars. The land is still before us, because we have sought the LORD our God . We have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered .
