Exegesis
The conjunction ve-Sham {וְשָׁ֗ם | wə·šām} ‘and there’ introduces a locative setting, leading into the construct chain aron brit ha-Elohim {אֲרוֹן בְּרִ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים | ʾā·rōn bə·rît hā·ʾĕ·lō·hîm} ‘ark of the covenant of God’, where the noun brit governs aron and ha-Elohim confirms divine ownership.
In context — Judges 20:27
And the sons of Israel inquired of the LORD , and there was the ark of the covenant of God in those days.
