Exegesis
The double negative imperatives ʾal-tišmaʿ {אַל־תִּשְׁמַע | ʾal-tišmaʿ} ‘do not listen’ and wə-lō tōʾeh {וְלֹא תֹאבֶה | wə-lō tōʾeh} ‘and do not consent’ address the king with a forceful prohibition. English preserves the coordination and strength of the Hebrew commands.
In context — 1 Kings 20:8
And all the elders and all the people said to him, “Do not listen , and do not consent.”
