Exegesis
The coordinating Hifil vav-consecutive wə-his-siʾû {וְהִשִּׂיאוּ | wə-his-siʾû} introduces a collective action by kol yiśrāʾēl {כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל | kol yiśrāʾēl} ‘all Israel’ to bring ḥăvālîm {חֲבָלִים | ḥăvālîm} ‘ropes’ toward hā-ʿîr hahi {הָעִיר הַהִיא | hā-ʿîr hahi} ‘that city’.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:13
And if he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it down to the stream until not even a pebble is found there.
