Exegesis
The subsequent Piel verbs ’adikkem {אֲדִקֵּ֖ם | ’ă-dik-kḗm} ‘I pounded them’ and ’erqā’em {אֶרְקָעֵֽם | ’er-qā-’ḗm} ‘I trampled them’ frame the similes and intensify the depiction of crushing victory, while the addition of “spread them out” conveys the implied scattering of the defeated. The Hebrew sequence of parallelism and chiasm is retained in the English to preserve cumulative force.
In context — 2 Samuel 22:43
And I crushed them like the dust of the earth; like the mud of the streets I pounded them, trampled them, and spread them out.
