Exegesis
Finally, the Qal perfect veyashavta {וְיָשַׁבְתָּ | wə-yāšavtā} ‘and you shall remain’ and the Nifal perfect venakhbeita {וְנַחְבֵּאתָ | wə-nāḥbēʼtā} ‘and you shall hide yourself’ form a protective result clause instructing David to seek concealment. The syntax balances narrative report with imperative instruction to highlight the tension between impending threat and necessary discretion.
In context — 1 Samuel 19:2
And Jonathan told David, saying, “My father Saul is seeking to kill you. Now be on guard, please, in the morning, and you shall remain in the hiding place and you shall hide yourself.”
