وَمِنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ مَن يَغُوصُونَ لَهُۥ وَيَعْمَلُونَ عَمَلًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَكُنَّا لَهُمْ حَٰفِظِينَ

وَٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ كُلَّ بَنَّآءٍ وَغَوَّاصٍ

Why this meaning was chosen

Both occurrences were inspected together. Subjugated beings perform the diving event for Solomon, and the intensive agent noun identifies a specialist diver alongside builders. Event and agent remain compositional.
