Exegesis

The infinitive construct avor {עֲבֹר | ʿă-vōr} ‘to pass through’ follows, with the direct-object marker et and the proper name in et-yisrael {אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל | ʾet-yīś-rā-ʾēl}.

Finally, the sequence vayavo yahatzah vayyilachem beyisrael {וַיָּבֹא יָהְצָה וַיִּלָּחֶם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל | wa-yā-bōʾ yā-ḥə-ṣāh wa-yil-lā-ḥem bə-yiś-rā-ʾēl} ‘and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel’ shifts the narrative from movement to conflict.
