Exegesis
The adversative vav in ve-haam {וְהָעָם֙ | wə-hāʿām} ‘and the people’ introduces a shift to the human perspective, with the negation lo {לֹ֣א | lōʾ} and perfect verb yada {יָדַ֔ע | yāḏaʿ} forming a negative nominal clause.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:3
Ahijah, son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, served as priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing the ephod . But the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.
