Exegesis
The phrase benei ha-anak {בְּנֵ֣י הָעֲנָ֑ק | bə-nê hā-ʿă-nāq} ‘sons of the Anak’ is a construct chain specifying lineage, then the three individuals are listed with repeated object-marking (et-sheshai {אֶת־שֵׁשַׁ֤י | ʾet-šē-šay}, ve-et-achiman {וְאֶת־אֲחִימַן֙ | wə-ʾet-ʾă-ḥî-mān}, ve-et-talmai {וְאֶת־תַּלְמַ֔י | wə-ʾet-tal-māy}), which gives each name separate prominence.
In context — Joshua 15:14
And from there Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak—Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai—descendants of Anak.
