Exegesis
The speaker, shaul {שָׁאוּל | šāʼûl}, establishes two parallel protases with the conditional particle im {אִם | ʾim} ‘if’, first presenting tōv {טוֹב | tōḇ} ‘good’ and then rāʿāh {רָעָה | rāʿāh} ‘bad’ as evaluative predicates.
In context — 1 Samuel 20:7
If he says, “Good ,” then your servant will be safe; but if he is very angry, then know that harm is determined by him.
