Exegesis
A vav-consecutive introduces the verb vayyippelu {וַיִּפְּלוּ | va-yip-pe-lû}, marking their defeat, with agency specified by b’yad {בְיַד־ | bə-yad-} David {דָּוִד | Dā-wîd} and u-b’yad {וּבְיַד | ū-bə-yad} avadav {עֲבָדָיו | ʿă-vā-dāy}. English rendering preserves the Hebrew’s sequential and emphatic structure, highlighting the transition from lineage to their downfall at David’s hands.
