Exegesis
The entreaty combines the imperative kabdeni {כַּבְּדֵנִי | kabdēnî} ‘honor-me’ with the particle na {נָא | nā’} ‘please’ for intensified urgency.
In context — 1 Samuel 15:30
And he said, “I have sinned. Now please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me so that I may worship the LORD your God.”
