Exegesis
The Pual participle hamuqa‘im {הַמּוּקָעִֽים | ham-mû-qā-‘îm} conveys a completed passive state—those rendered visibly hanged—underscoring cultural significance of proper burial. Parallelism between “brought up” and “gathered” preserves the Hebrew’s dignified tone.

י־ק־ע
“to hang, expose”
In context — 2 Samuel 21:13
