Exegesis
The disjunctive vav introduces vatimmatze {וַתִּמָּצֵ֣א | va-tim-mā-ṣēʾ} marking a contrasting result, and the lə- prefixes in lə-Šāʼûl {לְשָׁא֔וּל | lə-Šāʼûl} and ū-lə-Yōnāṯān {וּלְיוֹנָתָ֖ן | ū-lə-Yōnāṯān} indicate beneficiary relationships, rendered “for” in English. This structure emphasizes the anomalous exclusivity of weapon availability with Saul and Jonathan.
