Exegesis
The narrative then returns to the Qal imperfect vayetze {וַיֵּצֵ֤א | wa-yē-ṣēʾ} “he went out,” followed by the proper name Ben-Hadad {בֶן־הֲדַ֔ד | ben-hă-dad}, and concludes with the Hiphil imperfect vayya'alehu {וַיַּעֲלֵ֖הוּ | wa-ya-ʿă-lē-hū} plus al-ha-merkavah {עַל־הַמֶּרְכָּבָֽה | ʿal-ham-mer-ḵā-vāh}, which denotes “he caused him to go up upon the chariot,” an honorific gesture. This structure fosters narrative momentum and highlights the diplomatic exchange.
In context — 1 Kings 20:33
And the men divined his intent and hastened and seized upon it, saying, “Your brother , Ben-Hadad.” Then the king said, “Come and take him.” So Ben-Hadad came out to him, and he brought him up into the chariot.
