Exegesis
The narrative sequence is driven by the vav consecutive Qal forms: vayiggash {וַיִּגַּשׁ | wayyiġaš} ‘and he approached’ opens the action followed immediately by vayyakeh {וַיַּכֶּה | wayyaqqeh} ‘and he struck,’ creating a rapid succession typical of Hebrew storytelling.
In context — 1 Kings 22:24
Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah approached and struck Micaiah on the cheek , and he said, “Which way did the spirit of the LORD pass from me to speak with you?”
