29:9a For behold, this is why our fathers have fallen by the sword,

This is why people killed our ancestors in war,
-or-
So our grandfathers died in battle,

29:9b and our sons and daughters and wives are in captivity.

and why they have taken our sons, our daughters, and our wives as prisoners.
-or-
and our wives and our children, both boys and girls, became prisoners ⌊of war⌋.
