Exegesis
The sequence ve-amadnu takhteinu {וְעָמַ֣דְנוּ תַחְתֵּ֔ינוּ | wə-ʿāmadnû taḥtênû} uses a vav-consecutive perfect to indicate consequence (‘and we stand in our place’).
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.
