Exegesis
A coordinating vav introduces vayyispədû {וַיִּסְפְּדוּ | wayyispədû} ‘and they mourned,’ shifting to communal action, and ʿalāyv {עָלָיו | ʿalāyv} ‘over him’ centers the grief.
In context — 1 Kings 13:30
And he laid his corpse in his own tomb, and they mourned over him, saying, “Alas , my brother !”
