Exegesis
The construct et-bə-nê-śê-‘îr {אֶת־בְּנֵי־שֵׂעִיר | ’et-bə-nê-śê-‘îr} identifies the opposing Edomites, and the cardinal numbers ’ă-sě-rět ’ă-lā-p̄îm {עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים | ’ă-sě-rět ’ă-lā-p̄îm} ‘ten thousand’ quantify the victory. This tight sequence of vav-consecutive perfects conveys brisk historical reporting.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:11
