Exegesis
The prepositional phrase el neshek {אֶל־נֶ֖שֶׁק | ʾel ne·sheḵ} ‘toward weaponry’ functions as the object of looking, and beit hayyar {בֵּ֥ית הַיָּֽעַר | bē·ṯ hay·yā·ʿār} ‘House of the Forest’ designates the specific royal armory. The English rendering preserves Hebrew word order and the shift from divine action to human response to emphasize Judah’s exposed vulnerability.
Root and etymology
ב־י־ת
