Exegesis
The negative conjunction ve-lo male’u hayamim {וְלֹא מָלְאוּ הַיָּמִים | wə-lōʾ māleʾû hayyāmîm} ‘and the days were not fulfilled’ indicates the customary waiting period remained incomplete. The formal rendering mirrors Hebrew structure and idiomatic expressions, whereas the dynamic version clarifies cultural context and idiomatic meaning for contemporary readers.
In context — 1 Samuel 18:26
And his servants told David these things, and the matter was pleasing in David’s eyes to marry the king’s daughter, but the days were not fulfilled .
