Exegesis
The possessive suffix in batteinu {בָתֵּ֣ינוּ | bāttêinû} ‘our houses’ connects the outcome to the beneficiaries, and the final noun shalal {שָׁלָֽל | šalāl} ‘plunder’ completes the accumulation sequence. The parallel imperfect verbs and cumulative structure create a rhetorical progression from expectation to fulfillment.
In context — Proverbs 1:13
We will find all precious wealth, and we will fill our houses with plunder .
