Exegesis
The final verb yevahallunanni {יְבַהֲלֻנַנִּי | yəḇahălunan-nî} ‘were terrifying me’ is a Pael imperfect with plural subject and first person singular object, intensifying the action and presenting it as ongoing: the thoughts and visions kept repeatedly alarming the king. English rendering preserves this structure by maintaining the sequence from the original dream, to the immediate fright, to the continuing mental disturbance, and by reflecting the parallelism of “thoughts” and “visions” as a hendiadys for overwhelming inner agitation.
Root and etymology
b-h-lbet-heh-lamed

In context — Daniel 4:5
