Exegesis
Hebrew uses two Niphal participles—nafetzet {נָפְצֵית | nāp·ṣê·ṯ} ‘scattered’ and nafotzet {נָפֹצֶת | nāp·ṣō·ṯ} ‘dispersed’—to intensify the battle’s breakdown.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:8
And the battle was scattered there and dispersed across the face of the whole land, and the forest consumed more people than the sword did on that day.
