Exegesis
The main action is introduced by vay-yakh {וַיַּךְ | way·yak} ‘and he struck’, identifying elhanan {אֶלְחָנָן | ʾel·ḥā·nān} with the construct ben-ya‘rei orgim {בֶּן־יַעְרֵ֨י אֹרְגִ֜ים | ben-ya·rē’ ʾor·gîm} ‘son of Jaarei-oregim’ and the gentilic phrase beit ha-lakhmi {בֵּ֣ית הַלַּחְמִי | bêt·ha·ḷa·ḥmî} ‘Bethlehemite’.
Root and etymology
b-n-nbet–nun–nun
