Exegesis
The interjection vehineh {וְהִנֵּ֖ה | wə-hin-nēh} ‘and behold’ introduces the visual report of the participial phrase helekh devash {הֵ֣לֶךְ דְּבָ֑שׁ}, where the Qal participle helekh {הֵ֣לֶךְ | hē-lekh} conveys ongoing action ‘flowing’.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:26
And the people came into the forest, and behold, honey was flowing; but no one reached his hand to his mouth, because the people feared the oath .
