Exegesis
The vav consecutive in wə-hā-yāh {וְֽהָיָה | wə-hā-yāh} shifts from recounting past actions to predicting the Philistine’s fate.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:36
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has taunted the battle-lines of the living God .
