Exegesis
The verse begins with qareʾ {קָרֵ֙א | qārēʾ} “he called,” a Peal perfect functioning as a narrative past, immediately followed by the prepositional phrase bəḥayil {בְּחַ֣יִל | bə-ḥayil} “with strength,” which is used adverbially to indicate manner, giving the sense “he cried out loudly.”
Root and etymology
ḥ-y-lChet–Yod–Lamed
