and they devoted (them) to the ban

Morphological Notes	Conjunction ו + Hiphil waw-consecutive imperfect, 3rd masculine plural, from חרם. The Hiphil gives a causative sense: "to devote, put under ban."
Rendering Rationale	The Hiphil stem conveys a causative action—"to cause to be devoted" or "to place under the ban." The waw-consecutive imperfect 3rd masculine plural is rendered "and they devoted," preserving the masculine plural subject and sequential narrative force, while "to the ban" retains the root idea of consecration to destruction.
