Exegesis
The main clause unfolds with the vav-consecutive Qal imperfect wat·tē·ṣē·nâ {וַתֵּצֶאנָה | wat·tē·ṣē·nâ} ‘and they went out,’ where hanāšîm {הַנָּשִׁים | han·naš·šîm} ‘the women’ serve as the subject.
In context — 1 Samuel 18:6
And it happened as they returned, when David had struck down the Philistine, that the women went out from all the cities of Israel to sing and to dance to meet Saul the king with tambourines and with joy , and with stringed instruments.
