Exegesis
The participle shot {שֹׁ֖ת | šōṯ} ‘setting themselves’ followed by the perfect shatu {שָׁ֥תוּ | šā-tû} ‘they set themselves’ depicts progressive deployment of parashim {פָּרָשִׁים | pā-rā-šîm} at ha-sha'arah {הַשָּֽׁעְרָה | ha-šā-‘ā-rā} ‘the gate,’ highlighting its strategic function. English translation shifts the Hebrew VSO order to SVO for clarity while preserving the emphasis of the vav-consecutive.
In context — Isaiah 22:7
And it came to pass that your choicest valleys were filled with chariots, and the horsemen took their positions at the gate .
