Exegesis
The final clause ve-lo naʿălēh ʾălêhem {וְלֹ֥א נַעֲלֶ֖ה אֲלֵיהֶֽם | wə-lōʾ naʿălēh ʾălêhem} employs the negative particle lōʾ with an imperfect verb to express prohibition (‘and we do not ascend to them’). The English rendering preserves the conditional structure, direct speech, and resultant action pattern of the Hebrew.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:9
If they say to us, “Stand still until we come to you,” then we will stand in our place and not go up to them.
