Exegesis
The final clause, introduced by wayyakku {וַיַּכּוּ | wayyakû} ‘and they struck,’ reports the outcome succinctly, with haarammim {הָרַמִּים | hārammîm} ‘the Arameans’ as the agent and et-yoram {אֶת־יוֹרָם | ʾeṯ-yôrām} as the direct object.
In context — 2 Chronicles 22:5
He also walked in their counsel and went with Jehoram son of Ahab, king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead; and the Arameans struck Joram.
