Exegesis
The relative pronoun ʾăšer {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} links the blessing formula bārūḥ YHWH ʾĕlōhekha {בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ} to the divine act sīgar ʾet-hāʾănāšîm {סִגַּר אֶת־הָאֲנָשִׁים} ‘delivered the men,’ while nāśʾû ʾet-yāḏām {נָשְׂאוּ אֶת־יָדָם} conveys the idiom of rebellion through hand-raising. English renderings reflect these structures to preserve narrative coherence and theological emphasis on divine intervention.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:28
And Ahimaaz called and said to the king, “Peace!” Then he bowed down to the king, his face to the ground, and said, “Blessed is the LORD your God who has delivered the men who lifted up their hand against my lord the king.”
