9:5a

all their enemies: This is hyperbole (exaggeration for emphasis). It means very many people.

killing and destroying: These two words mean the same thing, so they have been reduced to one word in the Display.

9:5b

those who hated them: This refers to the same group of people as “their enemies” in 9:5a.
