Exegesis
The repeated wayyōmer clauses and the parallel formula zeh bə-kōh wə-zeh bə-kōh {זֶה בְּכֹה וְזֶה בְּכֹה | zeh bə-kōh wə-zeh bə-kōh} ‘this way…and this way’ employ rhetorical parallelism to portray a divine council discussion. English renders the sequence in standard SVO order to preserve clarity while maintaining the Hebrew’s thematic and rhythmic flow.
In context — 1 Kings 22:20
And the LORD said, “Who will entice Ahab so that he will go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?” Then one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.
