Exegesis
The verse employs a chain of five vav-consecutive verbs to convey immediacy: vayar {וַיַּ֗רְא | way·yā́r} “he saw (became alarmed)”, vayakam {וַיָּ֙קָם֙ | way·yā·qām} “he arose (in haste)”, vayelekh {וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ | way·yē·leḵ} “he went/fled”, vayavo {וַיָּבֹ֕א | way·yā·bō} “he came”, and vayanach {וַיַּנַּ֥ח | way·yan·naḥ} “he caused to rest”.
In context — 1 Kings 19:3
When he saw this, he became afraid, and he rose and fled for his life ; he came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and he left his servant there.
