Exegesis
Direct speech begins with wayyōmer {וַיֹּאמֶר | wayyōmer}, governing three Qal imperatives—maher {מָהֵר | māhēr}, retsah {רְּצָה | reṣāh}, and al-ta'amod {אַל־תַּעֲמֹד | ʾal-taʿămōḏ}—which together convey urgency.
In context — 1 Samuel 20:38
And Jonathan called the lad and said, “Hurry! Run! Do not stop.” Then the lad took the arrows and returned to his master.
