Exegesis
The second clause wayyilkedu {וַֽיִּלְכְּד֖וּ | wayyilkəḏû} ‘and they captured’ shifts focus to Israelite forces and uses the construct benoteha {בְּנֹתֶ֑יהָ | bənōwṯêhā} ‘daughter towns’ to denote subordinate settlements.
In context — Numbers 21:32
And Moses sent men to spy out Jazer, and they captured its towns , and they dispossessed the Amorite who was there.
