19:35d When the people got up the next morning,
The traditional King James Version text translated the Hebrew of 19:35d-e literally in a way that makes modern readers laugh: “and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead men.” You may be able to avoid this problem by indicating that the survivors (possibly the servants) saw that the soldiers were all dead.
When the ⌊survivors⌋ got up early the next morning,
-or-
When the ⌊others⌋ woke up in the morning
19:35e there were all the dead bodies!
the camp was full of dead bodies!
-or-
they saw dead bodies everywhere!
