Exegesis
The second vav-consecutive vayishlakh {וַיִּשְׁלַח | va-yish-lakh} ’and he sent’ introduces the agency phrase beyad David beno el Shaul {בְּיַד־דָּוִד בְּנוֹ אֶל־שָׁאוּל | bə-yad dā-wîd bə-no el šā-ʼûl}, marking David as the commissioned agent. Construct chains in the nested prepositional phrase underscore family delegation and direction of the mission.
In context — 1 Samuel 16:20
And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and one young goat , and sent them by the hand of his son David to Saul.
