Exegesis
The protasis uses ve-shama‘ {וְשָׁמַע | wə-šā-ma‘} “and he will hear” (Qal perfect) with the proper name Sha’ul {שָׁאוּל | šā-’ûl}, followed by the apodosis va-hargani {וַהֲרָגָנִי | va-ha-rə-ḡā-nî} “and he will kill me” (Qal perfect + object suffix).
In context — 1 Samuel 16:2
And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears, he will kill me.” And the LORD said, “Take the heifer of the herd in your hand and say, ‘To sacrifice to the LORD I have come.’”
