Exegesis
The perfect verb ’ā·nā·hū {עָנָ֖הוּ | ’ā·nā·hū} ‘he answered him,’ negated by wə·lō {וְלֹא | wə·lō} ‘and not,’ contrasts with the temporal expression ba·yōm ha·hû’ {בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא | ba·yōm ha·hû’} ‘on that day.’ In English, Hebrew VSO questions become SVO interrogatives, and the lack of response is signaled by “But.”
In context — 1 Samuel 14:37
And Saul asked of God , “Shall I go down after the Philistines ? Will You give them into the hand of Israel?” But He did not answer him that day.
