Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת | ʾet} identifies David as the recipient of Saul’s garments, and the construct maddayav {מַדָּיו | maddāyāw} signals Saul’s ownership of the attire.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:38
Saul dressed David in his own battle garments , placed a bronze helmet on his head, and put a coat of mail on him.
