Exegesis
The clause wə-gam miṣārê yiśrāʾēl {וְגַם מִשָּׂרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | wə-gam miṣārê yiśrāʾēl} extends the violence to include select officials. The English structure preserves this cumulative progression, reflecting the escalating brutality.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:4
And Jehoram rose up over the kingdom of his father and strengthened himself, and he killed all his brothers with the sword—and also some of the officials of Israel.
