Exegesis
The next clause uses another waw-consecutive wayyittenem {וַיִּתְּנֵם | wayyittnēm} ‘and he gave them’, followed by a parallel coordinate structure of bə-yad khaza’el {בְּיַד חֲזָאֵ֣ל | bə-yad ḥăzāʾēl} ‘into the hand of Hazael’ and wə-bə-yad Ben-Hadad ben-khaza’el {וּבְיַד בֶּן־הֲדַ֥ד בֶּן־חֲזָאֵ֖ל | wə-bə-yad ben-ḥaḏāḏ ben-ḥăzāʾēl} ‘and into the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael’, underscoring dual subjugation.
