Exegesis
The participle mîyōšēḇê {מִיּוֹשְׁבֵ֖י | mî-yōšēḇê} in construct chain with Yāvēš Gilʿād {יָבֵ֥שׁ גִּלְעָֽד | yāvēš gil-ʿād} specifies the group lacking representation. Word order in English is normalized, but key Hebrew emphases (vav-consecutive, vehinnēh) are maintained to reflect the original narrative tension.
In context — Judges 21:9
And the people were mustered, and behold, there was not there a man from the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead.
