Exegesis
The verse presents a nominal series beginning with eqron {עֶקְר֥וֹן | ʿeq-rōn} ‘Ekron’, followed by two parallel construct chains u-v’noteyha {וּבְנֹתֶ֖יהָ | û-ḇə-nō-ṯē-hā} ‘and its daughters’ and va-chatserEyha {וַחֲצֵרֶֽיהָ | wā-ḥa-ṣê-rē-hā} ‘and its villages’. Each chain features a feminine plural construct noun plus a third person feminine singular pronominal suffix, all linked by the conjunctive vav to signal a hierarchical listing of the main city and its dependent settlements.
