Exegesis
The relative clause asher bemigron {אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּמִגְר֑וֹן | ’ă-šer bə-mig-rôn} ‘which is in Migron’ further qualifies the noun.
In the next clause, the conjunction veha’am asher immo {וְהָעָם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עִמּ֔וֹ | wə-hā-‘ām ’ă-šer ‘im-mō} ‘and the people who are with him’ links a descriptive participial relative clause to Saul’s group.
