Exegesis
The narrative advances through sequential action marked by the vav consecutive {וַיִּשְׁלַח | way-yiš-laḥ} ‘sequential prefix’, which recurs in vayeviehu {וַיְבִיאֵהוּ | way-ye-ḇî-ʾē-hû} to link sending and bringing.
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.”
