lodged
To lodge, spend the night, or remain temporarily in a place; by extension, to stay, abide, dwell, or continue in a given state or location, sometimes with an emphasis on temporary or overnight residence. In some contexts, especially in Piel or intensive forms, it carries the sense of persisting in speech, often with the nuance of complaining or murmuring. The primary sense remains focused on pausing, halting one’s journey, or residing overnight.

and they lodged
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the primary root sense of lodging or halting for the night, without the intensive nuance of complaint. The sequential imperfect 3rd masculine plural is reflected by "and they" plus the simple past action. |
