Exegesis
The chain pǝ·sî·lê ʾĕ·lō·hê·hā {פְּסִילֵי אֱלֹהֶיהָ | pǝ·sî·lê ʾĕ·lō·hê·hā} maintains the possessive structure, and the verb šib·bār {שִׁבַּר | šib·bār} plus lā·ʾā·reṣ {לָאָרֶץ | lā·ʾā·reṣ} conveys total destruction by casting the idols to the earth.
In context — Isaiah 21:9
And behold, here comes a chariot of a man with a pair of horsemen. And he answered and said, “Babylon has fallen, has fallen; and all the idols of her gods he has shattered to the ground .”
