Exegesis
The interjection ve-hinnām {וְהִנָּ֧ם | wehinnām} “and behold them” introduces the shocking scene, followed by the vivid participial clause pəgārîm nōp̄lîm arṣāh {פְּגָרִים נֹפְלִ֥ים אַרְצָה | pəgārîm nōp̄lîm arṣāh} “corpses falling on the ground,” employing participles for immediacy.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:24
And Judah came to the watchtower overlooking the wilderness, and they turned toward the multitude, and behold, they were corpses lying on the ground; and there was no survivor .
