Exegesis
The prepositional sequence miGibeon {מִגִּבְעֹן | mi·gib·bō·’ōn} ‘from Gibeon’ and ve-ad {וְעַד־ | wə·’aḏ} ‘and until’ gezerah {גָּזְרָה | gā·zər·ā} ‘Gezer’ delineates the extent of pursuit, underscoring the completeness of victory achieved through obedience. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew vav consecutives with “and” and smooths the relative clause for readability while retaining key particles.
In context — 1 Chronicles 14:16
And David did just as God commanded him, and they struck down the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon to Gezer.
