Exegesis
The subsequent vav consecutive with Hiphil imperfect in vayattehu {וַיַּטֵּ֕הוּ | way-yaṯ-ṯê-hû} ‘and he turned it aside’ introduces an antithetical pivot, redirecting the ark.
In context — 1 Chronicles 13:13
So David did not bring the ark into the City of David; instead, he diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite .
