Exegesis

The verse is composed as a rapid chain of vav-consecutive verbs—vayyaʿaṭ {וַיַּעַט | wayyaʿaṭ} ‘and rushed’, wayyiqḥū {וַיִּקְחוּ | wayyiqḥū} ‘and they took’, wayyišḥəṭū-ʾāreṣāh {וַיִּשְׁחֲטוּ־אָרְצָה | wayyišḥəṭū-ʾā-reṣ-āh} ‘and they slaughtered’, wayyōʾaḥal {וַיֹּאכַל | wayyōʾaḥal} ‘and he ate’—which drives the narrative forward without conjunctions.

In context — 1 Samuel 14:32

And the people rushed to the spoil , took flocks, herds, and calves, slaughtered them on the open ground , and ate the meat along with the blood.
