Exegesis
The paired purpose clauses utehilo {וּתְהִי־לוֹ | ū·tə·hī-lō} and utehibo {וּתְהִי־בוֹ | ū·tə·hī-bō} frame a purposeful outcome: a snare (lemoqesh {לְמוֹקֵשׁ | lə·mō·qēš}) and the Philistines’ hand (yad-pelishtim {יַד־פְּלִשְׁתִּים | yad-pe·liš·tīm}) against him. A second vayomer introduces direct address.
In context — 1 Samuel 18:21
And Saul said, “I will give her to him so that she shall be a snare to him and the hand of the Philistines shall be against him.” And Saul said to David, “Today you shall become my son-in-law for a second time.”
