Exegesis
The vav-consecutive vayyaʿaś {וַיַּעַשׂ | wayyaʿaś} ‘and he made’ shifts to divine agency with the compound noun phrase tešûāh gedôlāh {תְּשׁוּעָה גְדוֹלָה | tešûāh gedôlāh} ‘great salvation’.
In context — 1 Samuel 19:5
And he put his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the LORD made a great salvation for all Israel; you saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin by shedding innocent blood to kill David without cause?
