Exegesis
The first of these is followed by the object charaka {χάρακά | chá-ra-ka} ‘rampart, trench’, specifying the construction of siege works, while the article–noun phrase hoi echthroi {οἱ ἐχθροί | hoí ech-throí} ‘the enemies’ is fronted before charaka, highlighting the agents of the attack.
In context — Luke 19:43
Because days will come upon you when your enemies set up a trench for you, surround you, and hem you in on every side.
