Exegesis
The final clause kai tas trapezas anestrepsen {καὶ τὰς τραπέζας ἀνέστρεψεν | kaí tás tra-pé-zas an-és-tre-psen} ‘and he overturned the tables’ completes the triad of forceful actions in vivid sequence. English preserves this aorist chain and maintains explicit actors while reordering the genitive into an English possessive for idiomatic clarity.
