Exegesis
The vav-consecutive Hiphil imperfect wə-hăbbî’ôtēm ’ēlāy {וַהֲבִיאוֹתֶם אֵלָי | wə-hăbbî’ôtēm ’ēlāy} ‘and bring to me’ conveys the ensuing command. The English rendition adjusts word order to reflect politeness while preserving the sequence of directives.
In context — 1 Samuel 16:17
And Saul said to his servants , “Please look for me a man who is skilled at playing, and bring him to me.”
