Exegesis
The construct bənê ʿammôn {בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן | bənê ʿammôn} ‘sons of Ammon’ coordinated with wəmoʾâv {וּמוֹאָב | wə-mo-ʼāv} identifies the allied aggressors, while yōšəḇê hār se‘îr {יֹשְׁבֵי הַר־שֵׂעִיר | yōšəḇê hār se‘îr} ‘inhabitants of Mount Seir’ marks their target.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:23
The sons of Ammon and Moab rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly destroy and annihilate them. And when they had finished with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped each man his companion toward destruction .
