and he was shattered

Morphological NotesVerb, Niphal stem, wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect), 3rd person masculine singular. The Niphal conveys passive or reflexive sense: "was broken/shattered."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Niphal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular, indicating a passive action in past narrative sequence. "Was shattered" preserves the passive force of the Niphal stem and reflects the masculine singular subject, while retaining the root idea of breaking into pieces or ruin.
