Exegesis
The nominal clause choleh hu {חֹלֶ֥ה הֽוּא | ḥō·lē hūʼ} places the predicate adjective first for emphasis, rendered “He is sick.” This structure contrasts Saul’s hostile initiative with Michal’s protective deception. English syntax adjusts Hebrew verb–object order into subject–verb–object order while maintaining the narrative flow.
In context — 1 Samuel 19:14
Then Saul dispatched messengers to capture David, and she said, “He is ill .”
