Exegesis
Vehinnēh {וְהִנֵּה | ve-hin-neh} introduces the dramatic scene, followed by hayetah {הָיְתָה | ha-ye-tah}, a qal perfect serving as a nominal copula for the clause cherev ish bere’ehu {חֶרֶב אִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ | ḥe-reb ’ish be-re-ʼe-hu} ‘a sword of a man with his friend’.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:20
And Saul and all the people who were with him cried out, and they came up to the battle. And behold, the sword of each man was turned against his companion , and there was very great confusion .
