Exegesis
The Qal imperfect yeirdu {יֵרְדוּ | yērdû} ‘they will go down’ with pelishtim {פְלִשְׁתִּים | pəlîštîm} ‘Philistines’ presents the coming threat, while the prepositional phrase elay {אֵלַי | ’êlāy} ‘to me’ indicates direction.
In context — 1 Samuel 13:12
And I said, “Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the face of the LORD ; so I restrained myself and I offered the burnt offering.”
