Exegesis
The verse is driven by a pair of wayyiqtol verbs: vayelchu {וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ | wayyəleḵû} ‘and they went’ advances the communal action, and vayissov {וַיִּסֹּ֥ב | wayyiśśōḇ} ‘and he turned back’ shifts focus to David as the singular subject.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:43
And all the people went, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
