Exegesis
The narrative culminates with vayippelu {וַיִּפְּלוּ | wayyippēlū} “and they fell” and the phrase tachat raglai {תַּחַת רַגְלָי | taḥāṯ raglāy} “under my feet,” underscoring total subjugation through striking martial imagery.
In context — 2 Samuel 22:39
I consumed them and crushed them, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.
