Exegesis
The verb laqach {לָקַח֙ | lāqaḥ} ‘mustered’ governs et-kol-yehudah {אֶת־כָּל־יְהוּדָ֔ה | ʼet-kol-yəhûḏāh} ‘all Judah’, which then functions as the subject of vayissa’u {וַיִּשְׂא֞וּ | wayyissāʼû} ‘they carried off’.
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.
