Exegesis
The second clause parallels with abirey bashan {אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן | ʾa-bî-rê bā-šān} ‘strong ones of Bashan’ in a construct chain denoting association, and kittruni {כִּתְּרוּנִי | kit-tə-rū-nî} ‘they have encircled me’ echoing the Piel perfect to heighten the sense of threat. The repeated Piel perfect stems are rendered in English subject-verb order for clarity while preserving the parallel structure and emphasis on encirclement.
