Exegesis
The subsequent vav-consecutive vayyaẖ {וַיַּ֗ךְ | văy-yāẖ} ‘and he struck’ governs two objects: ’et-’ĕdôm ha-ssōwēḇ ’ēlāyw {אֶת־אֱדוֹם הַסּוֹבֵ֣ב אֵלָיו} ‘Edom, the one surrounding him’, and wə-’ēt ṣārēy hārāḵēḇ {וְאֵ֖ת שָׂרֵי הָרָֽכֶב} ‘and the officers of the chariotry’. This chain of vav-consecutives creates a rapid, dynamic historical narrative.
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:9
Then Jehoram crossed over with his officers and all the chariotry with him. And it came to pass that he rose at night and struck the Edomites, those surrounding him, and the officers of the chariotry.
