Exegesis
The second interrogative hallōʾ zeh hazzāmer bemakhālōṯāyw {הֲלוֹא זֶה הַזַּמֵּר בְּמַחֲלוֹתָיו | hallōʾ zeh hazzāmer bemakhālōṯāyw} ‘Is he not this singer in his dances?’ uses the participle hazzāmer to recall the communal singing refrains, modified by the prepositional phrase bemakhālōṯāyw.
In context — 1 Samuel 21:11
And the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this David, the king of the land? Is he not the one of whom they sing to one another in dances, saying, ‘Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
