And He subdued by His might those who acted arrogantly and insolently,

بِقَهْرِهِ by His might

The 'with/by' prefix is a preposition forcing the genitive and marking the means of the subduing, and the noun it governs carries an attached 'his' pointing back to Allah. So one word bundles preposition, noun, and possessor, meaning 'by His might'.
