Exegesis
The participle chagur {חָג֖וּר | chagur} ‘girded’ qualifies the group, and the construct phrase kelei milchamah {כְּלֵ֥י מִלְחָמָֽה | kelei milchamah} ‘equipment of war’ conveys readiness. In English, these elements are arranged in SVO order with adjectival and noun phrases preserving the Hebrew construct relationships.
