Exegesis
Sequential action moves from the Qal perfect nasabu {נָסַבּוּ | nāsabbû} ‘they surrounded’ to the Hitpael participle mitdapqim {מִתְדַּפְּקִים | mitdapqîm} ‘were pounding,’ highlighting repeated force.
In context — Judges 19:22
As they were making their hearts glad , behold, the men of the city, sons of worthlessness , surrounded the house and pounded on the door. They said to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came into your house so that we may know him.”
