Exegesis
The two imperatives kum {קוּם | qûm} ‘arise’ and meshacheihu {מְשָׁחֵהוּ | mə-šā-ḥê-hû} ‘anoint him’ stand in paratactic sequence without a conjunction, followed by the causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for’, which establishes the rationale identifying him as the chosen one.
In context — 1 Samuel 16:12
So he sent and brought him in. And he was ruddy , with beautiful eyes and handsome appearance. Then the LORD said, “Arise and anoint him; for this is he.”
