Exegesis
Finally, the participle ʿōle {עֹלֶה | ʿōle} ‘is going up’ functions metaphorically for military invasion, and the suffixed preposition ʿālāyḵā {עָלֶיךָ | ʼālayḵā} marks the target. The translation retains the original sequence and urgency while clarifying idiomatic temporal and military imagery.
In context — 1 Kings 20:22
And the prophet approached the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself , and be attentive to what you should do, for at the turning of the year the king of Aram will come up against you.”
