Exegesis
The repetition of karim {כָּרִים | kā-rîm} ‘battering rams,’ along with nouns like peh {פֶּה | pēh} ‘mouth,’ kol {קוֹל | qôl} ‘voice,’ solelah {סוֹלְלָה | sōl-lāh} ‘mound,’ and dayeq {דָּיֵק | dā-yēq} ‘siege wall,’ creates escalating military imagery. The parallel structure conveys deliberate coordination of assault measures by listing each action as an ordered directive.

And in his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in slaughter , to lift up the voice with a shout, to set battering rams against the gates, to heap up a mound, and to build a siege wall .
