Exegesis
The narrative opens with the sequential marker vayiggalu {וַיִּגָּלוּ | wayyiggalu} ‘and they revealed themselves’, a Nifʿal stem with vav-consecutive that highlights deliberate self-exposure by shneihem {שְׁנֵיהֶם | šnêhem} ‘the two of them’ (Jonathan and his armorbearer).
In context — 1 Samuel 14:11
Then the two of them revealed themselves to the Philistine outpost, and the Philistines said, “Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes in which they had hidden .”
