Exegesis
The narrative begins with the vav-consecutive Qal imperfect vayasimu {וַיָּשִׂ֤ימוּ | way-yā-śî-mû} ‘and they placed’, which together with lah yadayim {לָהּ יָדַיִם | lāh yāḏayim} functions idiomatically as a seizure expression.
In context — 2 Chronicles 23:15
So they placed their hands upon her, and she went to the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king’s house ; and they put her to death there.
