These are the names of men. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names)

all Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem

Here "Judah" refers to the people who live there. AT: "all you who live in Judah and Jerusalem" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

for the battle does not belong to you, but to God
