Exegesis
The idiom lə-p̄î {לְפִי־ | lə-p̄î} ‘by the mouth of’ with ḥāreḇ {חָרֶב | ḥāreḇ} ‘sword’ emphasizes lethal force, and the final clause with bā-ʾēš {בָאֵשׁ | bā-ʾēš} ‘with fire’ completes the image of total destruction.
In context — Judges 18:27
They seized what Micah had made and his priest, and moved against Laish, a people who were quiet and secure . They struck them down with the sword and set the city on fire.
