Exegesis
Each instance of elohei {אֱלֹהֵ֨י | ʾĕlōhê} ‘gods of’ forms a construct chain with the following city names—ḥamat {חֲמָ֜ת | ḥă·māṯ}, ʾarpād {אַרְפָּ֗ד | ʾăr·pāḏ}, sepharvayim {סְפַרְוַ֖יִם | səpharvayim}, hena {הֵנַ֣ע | hēnāʿ}, ivvāh {עִוָּ֑ה | ʿivvāh}—creating parallelism that underscores their collective impotence.
In context — 2 Kings 18:34
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Did they deliver Samaria from my hand?
