Exegesis
A second Hitpael hitpaqdu {הִתְפָּ֣קְד֔וּ | hitpaqeḏû} marks the mustering of sheva meot bachur {שְׁבַ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת בָּחֽוּר | šeḇāʿ mêʾôt bāḥûr} ‘seven hundred chosen’, heightening the contrast in scale and selection.
In context — Judges 20:15
And the sons of Benjamin were mustered on that day from the cities—twenty-six thousand men drawing the sword—apart from the inhabitants of Gibeah; there were mustered seven hundred chosen .
