Exegesis
Prepositional phrases (mehem {מֵהֶם | mē-hem} ‘from them’; im leshem {עִם לֶשֶׁם | ʿim lê-shem} ‘with Leshem’) specify origin and opposition, while the object otah {אוֹתָהּ | ʾō•ṯāh} ‘it’ links each verb back to the city.

And the border of the sons of Dan went out from them, and the sons of Dan went up against Leshem and captured it, and they struck it with the sword , and they possessed and dwelt in it. And they called Leshem Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor .
