Exegesis
The narrative begins with vayyishlechu {וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ | wayyišḷêḥû} ‘and they sent’, illustrating the vav-consecutive Qal imperfect that advances the action.
In context — Judges 21:10
So the assembly sent twelve thousand men from the sons of valor, and they commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead by the edge of the sword, including the women and the little ones .”
