Exegesis
The final jussive wə-yikāvṣū ʾēlēnu {וְיִקָּבְצ֖וּ אֵלֵֽינוּ | wə-yikāv-ṣū ʾē-lē-nū} ‘and let them gather to us’ marks purpose. The English rendering preserves Hebrew word order and mood distinctions for nuance.
In context — 1 Chronicles 13:2
David said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is from the LORD our God , let us send out word to our brothers who remain throughout all the lands of Israel and to the priests and Levites in their pastureland cities , that they may gather to us.”
