What is the meaning of "El ha'Solelos v'El ha'Cherev"?

1.

Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: They make mounds to strengthen the wall in front of the enemy, which kills with swords.

2.

Radak: This is like b'Solelos uv'Cherev. Similarly, "v'El ha'Aron Titen Es ha'Edus" (Shemos 25:21) is like uva'Aron, just there [El is in place of the prefix] Beis that means inside, and here it is in place of Beis that means with the help of (using). Cherev is a heavy ax used to topple towers, like "u'Migdelosayich Yitotz b'Charvosav" (Yechezkel 26:9).

3.

Malbim: Refer to 32:5:1:2.
