Exegesis
The sequence of imperatives kum {קוּם | kūm} ‘arise’, ekhol {אֱכָל | ʾĕ-ḥāl} ‘eat’, and the jussive veyitav {וְיִטַב | wə-yit-tāḇ} ‘let be good’ directs mood and action with libekha {לִבֶּךָ | li-ḇē-ḵā} ‘your heart’ as the beneficiary.
In context — 1 Kings 21:7
And Jezebel, his wife, said to him, “Are you now exercising kingship over Israel? Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be glad. I myself will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
