and they struck down

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ + Qal perfect 3cp of נָגַף. The vav links it to the narrative sequence; the Qal stem is active, and the plural ending ־וּ marks a common plural subject (“they”).
Rendering RationaleThe form is Qal perfect 3rd person common plural with a prefixed conjunction, indicating a completed past action by a plural subject: “and they struck down.” The rendering preserves the active force of the Qal stem and reflects the root sense of delivering a decisive blow that brings defeat or collapse.
