Exegesis
The perfect verb halchu {הָלְכוּ | hā-lə-khû} ‘they went’ is immediately quantified by the dual numeral matayim {מָאתַיִם | mā-ṭa-yim} ‘two hundred’ modifying ish {אִישׁ | īš} ‘man’ for collective sense.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:11
And with Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who had been called and were walking in their innocence, and they did not know anything about the matter .
