Exegesis
The concluding vayiven {וַיִּבֶן | wayyiven} ‘he built’ with bahem {בָּהֶ֔ם | bāhēm} ‘with them’ presents et-gevah {אֶת־גֶּ֖בַע | ʼet-geḇa‘} ‘Geba’ and ve-et-hammîṣpāh {וְאֶת־הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃ | wə-ʼet-hammîṣpāh} ‘Mizpah’, emphasizing the repurposing of Ramah’s resources into Judah’s defenses. This syntax preserves the Hebrew verb-subject-object sequence for narrative immediacy and highlights the strategic reuse of enemy materials.
In context — 2 Chronicles 16:6
Then King Asa mustered all Judah, and they carried off the stones of Ramah and its timbers that Baasha had used for building; with them he built Geba and Mizpah.
