Exegesis
The markers ’et wāhēḇ {אֶת־וָהֵב | ’et wāhēḇ} and wə-’et hanneḥālîm {וְאֶת־הַנְּחָלִים | wə-’et hanneḥālîm} identify the battle sites as direct objects. The listing of Waheb, Suphah, and Arnon follows a fragmentary, poetic catalogue typical of Hebrew parallelism, highlighting each location of divine action.
