Exegesis
The conjunction wə-gam {וְגַם | wə-gam} ‘and also’ marks a shift in allegiance encoded by the infinitive li-hyōt {לִהְיוֹת | li-hyōt} ‘to be’, indicating their turning to Israel.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:21
And the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines like the previous days , who had gone up with them around the camp, likewise turned to be with Israel—those with Saul and Jonathan .
