Exegesis
The causal clause introduced by ki-simcham {כִּֽי־שִׂמְּחָ֥ם | kî-sîm·ḥām} ‘for he caused them to rejoice’ uses a Hiphil perfect to attribute the action to YHWH {יְהוָה | yəhō·wāh} ‘the LORD,’ and the phrase me-oyveihem {מֵֽאוֹיְבֵיהֶם | mē·’ō·yᵉ·vē·hēm} ‘from their enemies’ indicates the source of divine intervention. The English renderings preserve Hebrew word order and causal emphasis while employing idiomatic prepositional and subordinate structures.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:27
And all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, returned to Jerusalem with joy, for the LORD had caused them to rejoice over their enemies.
