Exegesis
The speaker’s self-designation ʿabdēḵā {עַבְדְּךָ | ʿabdēḵā} ‘your servant’ serves as the subject of the vav-consecutive imperfects yēlēkh {יֵלֵךְ | yēlēkh} ‘will go’ and wə-nilḥām {וְנִלְחַם | wə-nilḥām} ‘and will fight.’
In context — 1 Samuel 17:32
David said to Saul, “Let no one’s heart falter because of him; your servant will go and fight this Philistine .”
