Exegesis
The Hifil perfect hēriʿû {הֵרִיעוּ | hēriʿû} ‘they shouted’ governs the infinitive construct liqrāʾō {לִקְרָאתוֹ | liqrāʾō} ‘to meet him’, expressing intent.
In context — Judges 15:14
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. Then the Spirit of the LORD rushed mightily upon him, and the ropes on his arms became like flax burned by fire, and his bonds melted away from his hands.
