Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect yakkeh {יַכֶּה | yak-keh} marks Menaḥem’s {מְנַחֵם | me-na-ḥem} aggressive action, with the direct object marker et {אֶת | ʾet} introducing Tipśaḥ {תִּפְסַח | tip-săḥ}.
The conjunctions ve-et {וְאֶת | wə-ʾet} coordinate the targets kol ʾăšer bah {כָּל אֲשֶׁר־בָּהּ | kol ʾă-šer baḥ} ‘all who were in it’ and gəvulehā {גְּבוּלֶיהָ | gə-vu-le-hā} ‘its borders.’
The causal kî {כִּי | kî} introduces the refusal clause with lōʾ pāṭaḥ {לֹא פָתַח | lōʾ pā-ṭaḥ} ‘did not open.’
In context — 2 Kings 15:16
Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and everyone in it, along with its territory from Tirzah, because it refused to open , and he struck all its pregnant women , ripping them open.
