Exegesis
Two waw-consecutive verbs, vayevium {וַיְבִיא֖וּם | wayəḇîʾûm} ‘and they brought them’ and vayashlikhum {וַיַּשְׁלִיכ֥וּם | wayyašlîḵûm} ‘and they hurled them’, drive a rapid sequence of actions; the attached object suffix “them” keeps the captives as the continuous discourse topic.
Root and etymology
consonantsshin–lamed–kaf
“to throw, cast”
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:12
