Exegesis
The temporal phrase bayyôm hahʾû {בַּיּ֖וֹם הַהֽוּא | bayyôm hahʾû} ‘on that day’ frames the narrative, and the cardinal numerals ʿeśrîm ʾālep̄ {עֶשְׂרִים אָֽלֶף | ʿeśrîm ʾālep̄} follow Hebrew numeric syntax (unit before scale). In translation, the vav-consecutive chain is rendered into standard English narrative sequence, and the temporal clause is repositioned for clarity.
Root and etymology
s-rshin, resh
“prince, leader”
In context — 2 Samuel 18:7
And there the people of Israel were struck down before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter on that day—twenty thousand men.
