Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bekhol-gevul {בְּכָל־גְּבֻ֥ל | bə-khol-gevul} establishes the complete scope of territory, culminating in the proper noun yisrael {יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | yiśrāʾēl}. This structure highlights total dispossession and the severity of their plight.
In context — 2 Samuel 21:5
And they said to the king, “The man who destroyed us and who plotted against us—we have been destroyed from standing anywhere within all the territory of Israel.”
