Exegesis
Narrative continuity is maintained by the chained vav-consecutive verbs vayyakh {וַיַּ֥ךְ | va-yak} ‘and he struck’ and vayye-mitehu {וַיְמִיתֵ֑הוּ | va-yə-mî-tē-hū} ‘and he killed him,’ with et {אֶת־ | ’et} marking the direct object.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:50
David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and with the stone; he struck the Philistine and killed him, and there was no sword in David’s hand.
