those who were killed by the sword

Here "sword" represents enemies who fought them in battle. This can be stated in active form. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 31:17. Alternate translation: "those whom enemies have killed with swords" or "those who have died in battle" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)
