they grew glad

Morphological Notes	Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person common plural. The Qal here is stative/intransitive, indicating entering or existing in a state of gladness.
Rendering Rationale	The Qal stem of שׂמח expresses the state of becoming or being glad. Rendering it as "they grew glad" preserves the root sense of brightening into joy while accurately reflecting the 3rd person common plural perfect form ("they").
