  • The word phrase translated on the campaign (בַּדֶּרֶךְ) (cf. NGÜ) is, literally, "on the way/road/path." In this militaristic context, "the way" probably refers to the warrior's campaign (cf. 1 Sam. 15:18, 20). The word is definite because it is identifiable from the preceding context; the conquering of enemies outside of Zion (cf. vv. 2, 5) implies a "journey" or "campaign."
