Exegesis
The verse opens with the waw-consecutive Pual imperfect vekhuttu {וְכֻתְּת֥וּ | wə-ḵut-tə-w} conveying intensive passive “they were crushed,” followed by the distributive expressions gôy-bĕ-gôy {גוֹי־בְּג֖וֹי | gôy-bĕ-gôy} “nation by nation” and bĕ-ʿîr {בְּעִ֑יר | bĕ-ʿîr} “city by city.”
In context — 2 Chronicles 15:6
And they were broken in pieces. A nation was crushed by a nation and a city by a city, because God troubled them with all distress .
