Exegesis
The temporal clause mê-hayyôm ha-hûʼ wamā‘ālāh {מֵהַיּ֥וֹם הַה֖וּא וָמָ֑עְלָה | mê-hayyôm hahûʼ wamā‘ālāh} ‘from that day onward’ conveys enduring impact. The sequence closes with two vav-consecutive imperfects (vayyiqām, vayyēleḵ), a customary Hebrew narrative closure marking Samuel’s departure.
In context — 1 Samuel 16:13
And Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers , and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day onward. Then Samuel rose and went to Ramah.
