Exegesis
The final wayyiqtol wayyavo {וַיָּבֹא | way-yāḇōʾ} ‘and he came’ closes the sequence with arrival at yerushalayim {יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם | yərûšālāyim}. In English, the linked Hebrew clauses are rendered with coordinating conjunctions and natural movement verbs while preserving the progression: command dominates, Joab departs, he makes his circuit, and he arrives.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:4
However, the king’s word prevailed over Joab, and Joab went out and went about through all Israel, and he came to Jerusalem.
