Exegesis
Finally, beyt lachem {בֵּית לָחֶם | bêṯ la-ḥem} ‘Bethlehem’ provides a locative anchor in David’s ancestral town. The iterative action is rendered as “would go and return” in the formal and “kept traveling back” in the dynamic, while the purpose infinitive appears as “to tend” and “to care for,” preserving clause relationships.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:15
But David would go and return from Saul to tend the flock of his father at Bethlehem.
