Exegesis
A contrastive wə-ʾattāh {וְאַתָּה | wəʾattāh} ‘and you’ introduces ʿāśîtāh {עָשִׂיתָה | ʿāśîtāh} ‘you did’, emphasizing the Kenite’s prior act.
In context — 1 Samuel 15:6
And Saul said to the Kenite , “Go, turn aside, depart from among the Amalekites, lest I gather you with him; for you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenite departed from among the Amalekites.
