Exegesis
The Hifil stem of vayyoqīʿūm {וַיֹּקִיעֻם | va-yo-kī-ʿūm} ‘and they impaled them’ conveys violent causation, located by bahār {בָּהָר | ba-hār} ‘on the hill’.
In context — 2 Samuel 21:9
And he handed them over to the Gibeonites, and they impaled them on the hill before the LORD , and all seven fell together; they were put to death in the days of harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest .
