Exegesis
The clause opens with a fronted numeral phrase, vaaseret alafim chayim {וַעֲשֶׂ֨רֶת אֲלָפִ֜ים חַיִּ֗ים | wa-ʿăśéreṯ ʾălāp̄îm ḥayyîm} ‘ten thousand alive’, which places the scale of the captives in focus before the main verb appears.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:12
And the sons of Judah captured ten thousand alive and brought them to the top of the cliff, and they hurled them from the top of the cliff, and all of them were split open.
