Exegesis
The Pual perfect yulledu {יֻלְּדוּ | yul-le-ḏu} indicates passive origin linked by the construct phrase l’harafah {לְהָרָפָה | lə-hā-rā-pha}, identifying Rapha as their ancestor, and b’gat {בְּגַת | bə-ḡat} situates them in Gath.
In context — 2 Samuel 21:22
These four were born to Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants .
