Exegesis
The verb vayishlach {וַיִּשְׁלַח֙ | va-yish-lakh} appears twice, first with malakhim acherim {מַלְאָכִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים | mal-ʾā-kîm ʾa-ḥê-rîm} ‘other messengers,’ then with malakhim shlishim {מַלְאָכִ֣ים שְׁלִשִׁ֔ים | mal-ʾā-kîm šə-lî-šîm} ‘third ones/time,’ showing Saul’s escalating efforts.
In context — 1 Samuel 19:21
And they informed Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Then Saul persisted and sent messengers a third time, and they also prophesied.
