Exegesis
The verse employs parataxis with the conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} linking the aorist participle labontes {λαβόντες | la-bón-tes} “having taken” as a prior action to the main verbs exebalon {ἐξέβαλον | ex-é-ba-lon} “they threw out” and apekteinan {ἀπέκτειναν | a-pék-tei-nan} “they killed.” The use of aorist forms underscores completed, consecutive actions.
Root and etymology
