Exegesis
The complement clause ki-chafetz-aviv-lamut-et-David {כִּי־חָפֵץ אָבִיו לָמוּת אֶת־דָּוִד | kî-ḥā·pheṣ ’ā·ḇî lā·mût ’et-dā·wîḏ} merges the conjunction ki ‘that,’ the perfect verb chafetz ‘desired,’ the pronominalized subject aviv ‘his father,’ and the infinitive lamut ‘to put to death’ with ’et marking the accusative. The syntax links Saul’s aggressive act to Jonathan’s realization of his father’s lethal intent.
