Exegesis
The second clause mirrors this with ani {אֲנִי | ʾā-nî} ‘I,’ ūḵal {אוּכַל | ū-ḵal} ‘I am able,’ lû {לוֹ | lû} ‘to him,’ and vehikitîv {וְהִכִּיתִ֔יו | wə-ḥik-kî-tî-vû} ‘I struck him down.’
In context — 1 Samuel 17:9
If he can engage me in battle and strike me down, then we will be your servants ; but if I prevail against him and strike him down, then you will be our servants and serve us.
