Exegesis
The verse advances the narrative with the wayyiqtol sequence wayyavo {וַיָּבֹא | wayyāḇōʾ} ‘and he came’ followed by the named subject gad {גָד | Gāḏ}, then the destination phrase el-david {אֶל־דָּוִד | ʾel-Dāwîḏ}, which frames Gad’s approach as an official visit to the king.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:11
Then Gad came to David and said to him, “Thus says the LORD : ‘Choose for yourself.’”
