Exegesis
The particle et {אֶת־ | ’et} marks Ahimelekh {אֲחִימֶלֶךְ | ’ă-ḥî-mê-leḵ} ha-kohen {הַכֹּהֵן | ha-kō-hên}, while the adverb ha-hen {הָהֵן | hā-hên} situates the account in time.

And David answered Ahimelech the priest at that time and said to him, “The king has charged me and said to me, ‘Let no one know what I have sent you to do.’ And I said to my men, ‘Hide me in a place.’”
