they struck down dead

Rootהרג (h-r-g)
Core Meaningsto strike down, to smite fatally, to kill, to slay
Semantic Rangeto kill in battle, to murder, to execute, to slaughter animals, to cause death by violent action
Conceptual Significanceהרג often appears in contexts of warfare, judgment, and bloodguilt, underscoring the gravity of unlawful killing as well as divine or judicial execution. It highlights the seriousness of taking life within covenantal law and narratives of conflict.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person common plural: "they" completed the action.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple active action of the root הרג, which conveys striking with deadly intent. The perfect 3rd common plural form is reflected by "they," and "struck down dead" preserves the sense of an intentional, fatal blow inherent in the root rather than a generic term for death.
